Limnophyes angelicae
Limnophyes angelicae is a species of dark brown chironomid midge. It has been recorded in the British Isles, Germany and European Russia and is assumed to be widespread in Europe.
Unlike many "Limnophyes" species, in which the larvae live in semiaquatic or damp terrestrial habitats, the larvae of "L. angelicae" are fully aquatic, living in shallow water at the margins of lakes.
