Fungus Gnat Larvae aggregation
Hi Jane,
You have an aggregation of Fungus Gnat Larvae. According to BugGuide, they migrate when there is a population explosion.

I would very much like to use an image of a snake of fungus gnat larvae posted by Jane, in a children’s educational book I am producing called ‘Wow! Wildlife Animal Camouflage’ for Rosen. The print run will just be 1,000, and the size of the image would just be a small inset picture. Do you own copyright? If you do, could we use the image? Or could you possibly give me a contact email of the person who does (i.e. Jane?) I will put a credit inside the book, and could pay a small fee.
All the best,
Alix Wood
