Most entomologists differentiate members of the Ceratopogonidae, the technical family name applied to no see 'ums as "biting midges," while members of the family Chironomidae are called non-biting midges. The latter just form clouds or swarms that are a nuisance, but don't bite. Both are important in the aquatic food web as larvae. David McNeely
