odd larvae

[toadfarm]

I found a few hundred larvae clinging to the lip of my waterfall this morning. About an 1/8" long. They looked like a leach with a pincer on the head end. Any idea what they are?

midge larva perhaps ?

that does look like them. The location seemed very odd. I will refrain from eliminating them.

I find lots of stuff hanging off my rocks, on the leaf basket, if not hanging onto the fish, I usually leave it alone.
