Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means.

A ring of five midges form a circle around the number 10. They form a hexagon like shape and are glowing blue on a black ground.

This detail is a ring of midges from the Scottish £10 note visible under UV light. The bill also features scientist Mary Somerville who discovered the planet Neptune. (I believe this midge wreath also appears on other denominations. Has anyone seen them?) #Scotland #midges

This is a midge. I took macro pics of many and never once got bit, but apparently the females of some species can bite and suck blood like mosquitoes. "no-see-ums" are the group most of us are familiar with. 🙂
