Think we are talking about three different critters. Dee is talking about an insect that is a little bigger than a mosquito and will drive you crazy flying around you, but will not bite(at least me). You can see the gnats on the coast and they will flat out hurt you when they bite. This past week is the first time I have had the little tiny gnats that are hard to see tear me up on the REZ, along with a mean biting fly. First time I was wishing for wind at the REZ.
