Best Answer

Midges are members of an insect family called Chironomidae. They have similar wing and body structures as mosquitoes but they are missing the elongated proboscis. The proboscis is what the female mosquito bites with. Males have it too, but they just use it to suck nectar from plants. Mosquitoes also have scales on the wings.

Biting midges and sand flies are names for the same type of insect. These insects are like mosquitoes in that they bite humans to draw blood.
