As a result, significant differences were observed in the number of resting chironomid midges according to the type of chironomid and vegetation. Chironomid midges rested on Melilotus alba with the highest density. As for C. plumosus, many chironomid midges tended to rest on plants which had many leaves per unit stem length. About 70% of chironomid midges which flew to P. australis stuck to the leaves. The difference in numbers was not significant for either side of the leaves. In light of the above, the fact that such varied forms of vegetation exist in the shoreline area would mean that the chironomid midges may avail themselves of all kinds of resting places of the kind. In addition, it was thought that were a larger vegetation area to be secured along a lake waterfront, these midges could effectively provide a buffer zone between human living space and their own habitats., Article, 水環境学会誌. 23:572-578 (2000)}, pages = {572--578}, title = {富栄養湖周辺域におけるユスリカ成虫の休息場所としての沿岸植生の役割}, volume = {23}, year = {2000} }
