Bob’s Bug Facts…
(brought to you by Bob Henricks)
The next time you find a midge in your cube of carefully sorted stoneflies, take heart: it may not be a case of careless sorting! Midges are “hitch-hikers,” and they often cling to the backs of stoneflies. Such behavior is not parasitic; they’re simply going along for the ride.
