Populations of adult chironomids occurring along 5-6 km of waterfront in the city of Sanford facing Lake Monroe, central Florida, were monitored from January 1980 to December 1994 using New Jersey light traps. The annual mean number of total midges per trap per day ranged from 269 (1994) to 8,009 (1980). Among the more than 20 species of midges occurring in the traps, Glyptotendipes paripes was the most abundant, followed by Chironomus crassicaudatus. These 2 species comprised 95.6% of total midges collected. Annual cycles of midge abundance were positively correlated with air temperature. Maxima of most species occurred in late spring/early summer; G. paripes peaked in late summer. Year-to-year midge population levels showed significant inverse correlations with Lake Monroe water depth and annual rainfall in the Sanford area.
1980年1月至1994年12月期间，使用新泽西诱虫灯对佛罗里达州中部门罗湖沿岸桑福德市5 - 6公里长的滨水区成年摇蚊种群进行了监测。每个诱捕器每天捕获的摇蚊总数的年平均值在269只（1994年）至8009只（1980年）之间。在诱捕器中出现的20多种摇蚊中，直突摇蚊最为常见，其次是粗尾摇蚊。这两个物种占捕获的摇蚊总数的95.6%。摇蚊数量的年度周期与气温呈正相关。大多数物种的数量峰值出现在春末/夏初；直突摇蚊在夏末达到峰值。摇蚊种群数量逐年变化与门罗湖的水深以及桑福德地区的年降雨量呈显著负相关。
