Friday Night Flies – Bloodworm
Bloodworm often live in oxygen poor regions such amongst the bottom debris and detritus where they live and feed. Larvae, in need of an oxygen supplement, generate hemoglobin in order to survive that turns them scarlet or blood red. As a result, red and maroon are the most common larval colors. Other larval colors include olive and green. As lake water cools during the fall and is re-energized through the turnover process hemoglobin infused larva return to their natural colors. It is common to see transitional larva featuring distinct alternating bands of red and green.
