Midge Fly Larvae hanging out in its tube and grabbing a snack 🪰😋😊😍

"Development of midge fly larvae happen through four stages known as ‘instars.’ Only the first instar is planktonic, with the succeeding stages taking caterpillar, or worm-like body forms.

Both biting and non-biting midge fly larvae exhibit sclerotized (or hardened) head capsules attached to tubular, segmented bodies. In some groups, fleshy stumps or prolegs are developed for locomotion, but in most, only false-legs or pseudo-legs are observed.

Midge flies live out most of their larval lives at only 1-3mm long." - midgeeducation.com
