Buzzer midge

 

This year snow fell on unfrozen ground. It means that under the snow carpet it can be even warmer than usual. Which in turn means that an abundant insect winter might be expected.

Before the snowstorms I managed to inspect the snow surface, near Keila river this time. There were plenty of insects – red stoneflies, snow flies, buzzer midges and various spiders were on the move on the snow. We will see what excitement the coming snowy  months will offer this winter.

Until the winds calm down it is nice to view photos in a warm room. In the museum of the Palamuse Parish School there is a photo exhibition to see in November: ”There is something more”.
