One study in a Dutch lake found 1,400 to 1,800 individuals per square meter, with an annual biomass of more than 10 pounds of one species of PM alone. Here in the North Country, there\u2019s a single generation per year, which overwinters as mature larvae.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2012\/02\/phntm-mdge11-7b.jpg"}
