In response to Very small insects. posted by johnblatchford:
Mr Blatchford in Canada we have a biting insect called no-see-ums... at least that's what the locals call it. They're often accredited with driving large herbivors into a blind panic as they are attracted to the eyes and nose seeking moisture. They appear as tiny black specks, what are they really? I've been bitten by blackflies and mosquitos before and they're quite large compared to these tiny insects. Do no-see-ums really bite, or are the blackflies unfairly tarnishing the no-see-um's reputation?
