Born in Miami, in fact. I've been told they're the same things we always
called sandflies. Had about 40 bites per foot camping off the
Hillsborough River a few months ago. But they were wusses compared to
midges. Maybe they are gentler the farther south you go? e

Up here in the North Country, what we call sand flies are about the
size of house flies.
