Biology, ecology, phenology / About the front legs and vibra...
Last post by Wenbin Liu - June 30, 2024, 10:12:05 AMWe have recently conducted popular science education on Chironomidae for many middle school students and the general public, and currently have two related contents:
1. The name of Chironomidae comes from the shaking of its front legs, which can be observed naturally.
2. Chironomidae is currently the insect with the fastest wing-fluttering frequency in the world.
I would like to ask if someone are aware of any related literature or research on the phenomena or mechanisms of these two contents.
Best,
Wenbin

Last post by Dr. Peter Langton - March 13, 2024, 03:41:28 PMDear Dr. Milosevic,
I have been asked by Valeria Lencioni to inform the participants of the availability of my keys to chironomid pupal exuviae. Any possibility of slipping into the program the following: 'Update on the availability of keys to chironomid pupal exuviae by Peter H. Langton' ? Probably 5 minutes will suffice.
Best wishes,
Peter Langton
