A midge is a small flying insect belonging to the family Chironomidae, often resembling mosquitoes but typically lacking the long proboscis. They are commonly found near water bodies and can be a nuisance due to their swarming behavior. In a broader context, "small flying insect" can refer to various tiny insects, including gnats and fruit flies, often characterized by their delicate bodies and wings.
