Clunio marinus is a non-biting midge of the bloodworm family (Chironomidae). It is found in the intertidal zone of the European Atlantic Coast from Spain to Iceland.[1] The species is a long-standing model system in chronobiology, particularly for circalunar clocks and the evolution of biological clocks.[2][3][4] Its genome has been sequenced.[5]
