Thought I would share a couple of chironomid starting with what I call the black blood chironomid. I put this together after seeing some kewl pictures of black bodied chironomids that had red between the body segments. I have had some luck with this one with the few times I have used it but wouldnt say It's been killer yet...

 

I plan on tying more using smaller biots to get more segments.
