Chaoborus and Ephemeroptera larvaes for paros

[Tautvilas Laureckis]

Hello,
Does these species is good for paros food? Glassworms (Chaoborus sp.)

sourse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glassworm
seems to be good for paros, depending on the mouth size but Ephemeroptera ?

sourse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayfly
Somehow I feel I should avoid these.. Any ideas?

[Bernd Bussler]

Yes both very good food, Ephemeroptera are very soft and are eaten by all Paros. Chaoborus about the same, but they can be dangerous juveniles as there are predatory insect larvae. I feed both types common in my breeding pairs, which are many eggs. Unfortunately, both types may be obtained not always.
Greeting Bernd :cheer:

I have now these in my garden: small Eristalinae and Ephemeroptera also. Some bloodworms too. Just the black mosquito larvaes are gone out now.

Black mosquito larvae come only from April again in front in the garden. Drausen in nature will be found black Mückenlarfen again under favorable conditions from February
