Biting midges (commonly called sand flies) are from the family of insects known as Culiocoides. There are over 270 species of Culiocoides in Australasia with three main species causing annoyance to humans. Culiocoides spp (nr subimmaculatus) is widely distributed, Culiocoides ornatus occurs in areas north of Tin Can Bay in Queensland, and Culiocoides molestus occurs in canal estates. These pests all have marine associations and are not known to transmit any diseases to humans. Barmah Forest virus has been isolated from Culiocoides marksi but this species rarely bites humans. |
