Midges and mosquitoes are both small flying insects that are commonly found in various parts of the world. While they may seem similar at first glance, there are some key differences between the two. Midges, also known as gnats or no-see-ums, are tiny insects that belong to the family Chironomidae. They are usually less than 1/8 inch long and have slender bodies with long legs and wings. Midges are known for their swarming behavior and can be found near bodies of water, such as lakes and rivers. They do not bite or feed on blood, as they mainly feed on decaying organic matter or plant material.

Magic Wood | Marble Sounding Tree | Medium 48cm

The Magic Wood Marble Sounding Tree is beautiful to look at, to play with, and to listen to. As your child drops one of the six colourful marbles (included) into the rainbow leaves at the top of the tree and it begins to weave its way down the tower, different sounds can be heard. Add another and another before the first reaches the bottom to create a cascade of tones.

Compatible with Grimm's 35 Small Wooden Marbles and Grapat Coloured Wooden Marbles 36 Pieces.

Each Marble Sounding Tower has been created using eco-friendly timber (maple wood and hard birch). Stained with natural dyes in rainbow tones rather than painted, and finished with flaxseed oil rather than varnish, the beautiful timber retains a soft, natural tactile feel - making the Sounding Tree the perfect sensory experience for children.

The benefits of this sort of play are numerous and include hand-eye coordination, auditory processing, an understanding of different tones that can be produced to create music, and a calming effect.

This is the Medium Magic Wood Sounding Tree (sometimes referred to as the Small Sounding Tree as there is another larger version), which stands at a generous 48cm tall. Its base is 15cm by 15cm.

Being made from natural timber, each of Magic Wood's beautiful offerings is unique, with slightly different shaping and colour finishes. Coloured pieces are stained, not painted. Woodgrain, knots, and markings, as well as small cracks and lifts in the coloured leaves will often be present to varying degrees. This is considered standard for Magic Wood products, and not a fault. Please note they are not varnished.

They do not bite or feed on blood, as they mainly feed on decaying organic matter or plant material. On the other hand, mosquitoes are small insects that belong to the family Culicidae. Unlike midges, mosquitoes are known for their biting behavior as they require a blood meal to reproduce.

Female mosquitoes are the ones that bite, as they need the protein from blood to develop and lay eggs. Male mosquitoes, however, do not bite and mainly feed on nectar. Mosquitoes have a unique mouthpart called a proboscis, which they use to pierce the skin and suck blood. This can cause irritation and discomfort, as well as transmit diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus. Midge bites, on the other hand, are generally harmless and do not transmit any diseases. In terms of appearance, mosquitoes are usually slightly larger than midges, with a more robust body and shorter legs. Mosquitoes also have a characteristic buzzing sound, which is caused by the rapid beating of their wings. Midges, on the other hand, are quieter and less noticeable due to their smaller size. Both midges and mosquitoes are most active during the warmer months and are attracted to areas with standing water. They are often considered nuisance pests, as their bites can cause itching and discomfort. However, mosquitoes pose a greater health risk due to their ability to transmit diseases. In conclusion, while midges and mosquitoes are similar in some ways, such as their small size and flying behavior, there are notable differences between the two. Mosquitoes are known for their biting behavior and ability to transmit diseases, while midges do not bite and mainly feed on organic matter. Understanding these differences can help in identifying and managing these pests effectively..

Reviews for "The Battle of the Centuries: Midgets and Mascots in History"

1. Karen - 2 stars - "I was really disappointed in 'Midges vs Mascors'. The storyline was confusing and hard to follow, and I struggled to connect with any of the characters. The special effects were also pretty lackluster, and it felt like the film was trying too hard to be a comedy but failing miserably. Overall, I found it to be a waste of time and money."

2. David - 1 star - "I have never written a review before, but I just couldn't stay silent after watching 'Midges vs Mascors'. It was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The dialogue was cringe-worthy, the acting was subpar, and the plot made absolutely no sense. I couldn't even tell you what the central conflict of the movie was supposed to be. Save yourself the agony and skip this one."

3. Jennifer - 2 stars - "I had high hopes for 'Midges vs Mascors', but it fell flat in so many ways. The pacing was extremely slow, and the jokes just didn't land. It felt like the film was trying too hard to be funny, and it ended up feeling forced and awkward. The lack of character development also made it hard to care about any of the characters, and I found myself losing interest halfway through the movie."

4. Mike - 1 star - "I can't believe I wasted two hours of my life watching 'Midges vs Mascors'. The concept seemed interesting, but the execution was terrible. The writing was cliché and predictable, and the acting was amateurish at best. There were also several plot holes that were never addressed. I wish I had left the theater after the first 15 minutes."
