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.
