Lake fly larvae in Lake Malawi exhibit a remarkable daily vertical migration. These Chaoborus edulis larvae possess specialized air sacs for buoyancy control. A unique pH-powered mechanism allows them to precisely manage their depth. These larvae can withstand extreme pressures, challenging previous scientific assumptions. This discovery offers insights into insect evolution and potential material science applications. Lake fly larvae in Lake Malawi exhibit a remarkable daily vertical migration.
