Midges Non-Biting Midges, commonly called simply “gnats,” are often mistaken for mosquitoes by their appearance. They fly in great swarms for the purpose of mating. Midges are found in every continent of the world. On occasion, swarms of midges have been so thick, they looked like clouds of smoke from afar. | | Breeding Habits Midges fly in great swarms for the purpose of mating. After mating, the female Non-Biting Midges deposit their eggs over water, on plants in the water or in wet soil nearby. With the short lifespan of the midge, approximately one month in length, there may be as many as 5 generations produced over the summer. Of course, the number of generations is dependent upon temperature and moisture in a particular breeding area.  Protect your family, pets and guests from bothersome midges
