Chaoborus astictopus, the Clear Lake gnat, is a species of phantom midges in the family Chaoboridae.[1][2][3][4] The older larvae is commonly found in the profundal zone of lakes during the day and in the open waters at night, suggesting that they are negatively phototactic.[5]
The larvae can be vulnerable to the pathogen Thelohania corethrae during the winter season.[6] They are also susceptible to the fungal pathogen Tolypocladium cylindrosporum.[7]
