    Ceratopogonidae, or biting midges


    Go to this link > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratopogonidae

    It's a very small biting knat. We have them in N. Michigan where it's woodsy. When I was a kid, and I had itchy spots after being in the woods, my aunt said , You must have been bit by a  " No see'em "    She said the Native Americans called them  that .

    sorry I didn't know their real name.
