Emerging

Emerging < PreviousNext >
A Non-Biting Midge (possibly Chironomus riparius) emerging from its larval form to adulthood. The fly squeezes itself from the strange black worm under the water, just visible in the photo, into a large fly that, for a few seconds, balances on the surface of the water before flying away to freedom.

I cloned out lots of debris (pollen and such) that was floating on the water here, to give the cleaner background. The larvae have been living in our water butt!
