We have them here sometimes, bad right now. They can drive you to jacking off. You may have other biting bugs we don’t have. It seems they are worst at dusk. They are very small clear, hard to see!
Do you all have them where you live

They get bad in winter here, especially at low tide around the flats. Bug spray works, without it you would go blind in short order!

Yes, we have them aplenty. Worse during cool weather, say 65-75*, not so much when warmer or cooler. The activate the slap-o-matic mostly in the spring and fall.
I am..........disturbed.

Very bad along and throughout the coastal regions.....
Watered down Skin so Soft was the go-to repellent.

We don't have hardly any mosquitoes here, mainly because we have no standing water anywhere, but we have no-see-ums in large voracious herds. It's actually the only biting insect we have here that are in big numbers.

Pretty sure we are only plagued with chiggers, ticks,mosquitoes and poison ivy in SW MO. Those are enough.
Chiggers suck. I hear that no-see-ums are worse.
I have always wondered why God created such awful critters.

Got em here. They tend to be word in the mountains and more prevalent in damp weather. A good ol drought backs them off pretty good.

They are wicked little, biting beasts. We have them in the coastal range where I hunt almost year round.
During deer and elk season, kill either animal and any exposed skin you have will get ravaged while field dressing.
Summer months are bad too, especially in the late afternoon ~ evenings.
My hunting Pard used to smoke. If he was burning a cigarette, we’d get some relief. He would chain smoke to keep them away.
A regular skeeter bite might last a couple days. NoSeeum bites take almost 2 weeks before they go away on me.
Hate them!

Girl Friend is getting eaten up this year She says Mosquitos but I have yet to see any myself. She wanted to know if i was getting bit and I told her No. She asked me why and I told her maybe because I have turned into a Bitter old Man and noting would want to bite a Bitter old man

Thermacell. I light mine off and put it on the bench if they start bothering me when I’m shooting.
