Where it came from? Well, when a boy midge and a girl midge... really love each other they give each other a special hug and then lay eggs in water... Which then hatch into bloodworms... And then you feed their babies to your fish. (Hopefully those pics worked) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ok, edited again because the egg cluster pic wasn't working, maybe the new pic will. I've seen egg clusters like that before, didn't know they were midge eggs. So, I actually learned something while making a smartass comment. :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 but the one that is in every garden in NZ is Camellia japonica not the tea one which is Camellia sinensis pretty sure garden centres sell sinensis ... I know they sell a lot more than just japonica ... the tree and shrub nursery I use to work at would of had over a dozen varieties (all looked similar to me ha). pretty sure sinensis was one though as it rings a bell. looks like a standard garden variety http://www.trademe.co.nz/home-living/ou ... 962823.htm lol Ira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
