Re: keeping bloodworms alive

excuse my guess at the spelling of the first word, but if I recall
correctly the packaging on the frozen version says "chironomous midge
larvae". I've watched bloodworms in a friend's white plastic birdbath
(not Ed's exotic Tokyo safari, but hey...) and in terms of form,
behavior and all, that isn't a mosquito unless "mosquito" in a regional
generic term for small flying bugs that I'm not aware of. I don't recall
who posted the skeeter line, but he/she is invited to run around in a
bathing suit in northern Quebec in Spring, where the differences between
biting and non-biting bug groups would rapidly become apparent!
