I haven't been bothered by mosquitos around my home. However last evening, after the heat wave broke, it being the first time I could sit outside, I could feel my bare ankles being bitten. I remembered these must be the annoying biting midges commonly called no-see-ums. The latter name is because of the fact that these insects are nearly invisible to the human eye. I wondered what these tiny insects really looked like and I will share that view with you:
(here the female is seen engorged with blood)
Sorry, just noticed that the photos to go with this post had disappeared. Just added them back.
