Are you enjoying some chocolate today? Thank the chocolate midge! 🍫 💌 These tiny flies are only 1-3 millimeters long — about the size of a pinhead! They resemble miniature mosquitos, but with feathery antennae. Cacao trees depend on chocolate midges for pollination. Without these midges, we wouldn't have chocolate! You can download our FREE LittleSeedsKids Pollinator Pal profile on the Chocolate Midge, which is full of fun facts about this insect AND has a coloring page of the cacao tree. Find it through the link in our profile! This photo of a chocolate midge is by Tom Murray. {Image description: A closeup of a brown feathery bug on a yellow background.} #KidsGardening #KidsGarden #SchoolGarden #SchoolGardens #KidsWhoGarden #GardenWithKids #GardenIdeas #Chocolate #ChocolateMidge #ThankYouChocolateMidge #Pollinator #PollinatorPal #PollinatorFriend #ThankAPollinator #ValentinesDay #VDay #ChocolateLover #BeMyValentine
