The larvae are commonly called bloodworms and are used as fishing bait in Japan. Their larvae are scavengers for organic materials at the bottom of freshwater bodies. Adult midges rarely feed since they only emerge during fall and live up to a few weeks. As adult male midges emerge, they form large swarms that make dance-like movements in the air to facilitate mating, so as to attract females to approach the swarms. Such swarming behavior helps facilitate mating, but is also a severe nuisance to Japanese local residents, as well as tourists in areas close to eutrophic lakes or polluted water bodies in Japan. Taxonomy Tokunagayusurika akamusi is in the family of Chironomidae and in the order Diptera. The most ancient families of flies...
