And worst of all - no-see-ums. They come out mostly at dawn and dusk. They bite but you don’t realize it. Until a couple hours to maybe even a couple days later. Depending on your sensitivity you may have no reaction. Me? I get big giant pus-dripping welts that itch like nothing else for 4-5 days.
Closest thing up north is chiggers - to which I have the same reaction.
We get a lot of ticks and chiggers over here in Texas. What I would call a “no-se’em” is a small biting gnat that bites the crap out of you.
