Definition
A genus of non-biting midges (flies) belonging to the family Chironomidae, commonly called bloodworms when in aquatic larval form.
Etymology
From Greek 'cheir' (hand) + 'nomos' (law), referring to the hand-like arrangement of mouth parts and antennae. Linnaeus named it in the 18th century.
Kelly Says
Chironomus larvae are so useful for genetic research that scientists have studied them for a century—their giant chromosomes were among the first to reveal how genes work!
