Chaoborus  

While working with the  UBC team in the past, some horizontal plankton net pulls were done at night to collect specimens from just under the surface. There was at least one surprise when multiple, tiny, translucent stick-fish creatures were captured.  When viewed in one of the sample jars, Dr. Luskow later confirmed these to be Chaoborus larvae (also known as glass worms) and that they are predators in direct competition with jellyfish. Once they pupate into adulthood they trasform to flying insects that look just like mosquitoes, but with out the capablility to bite.

 

Anyone who has been on Hotel Lake during a summer twilight will likely have encountered large swarms of “mosquitoes”; but are they really mosquitoes?  Chaoborus adults, look just like mosquitoes but without the bite.
