Nice pic and vid Matt but they look like Mosquito larvae to me. Where did you find them?

I thought buzzers moved slowly? Those are certainly not slow. That top pic is cracking

I got them in my pond. Im from N.Ireland so i don't think we would be getting Mosquito's here. They are definatly buzzers.

Hi Matt,
That pic is definately not of a Chironomid (buzzer).
This is a chironomid:


This is a mosquito larvae:


Of course there are many different types of Chironomids and Mosquitoes and yes, there are Mosquitos in these isles.
