I just could not resist, I know that No see-ums are different than mosquitos but the way that the title was written without a comma or slash you could read it as being very tiny mosquitos.

No seems mosquitos, I have never seen them that small, the ones we have, if more than 2 come to dine they just carry you away and then when they are finished they drop you back down.
Depends on the wind and how much rain they've had lately. We've seen very few so far this year, in North Florida. But for every one we get they get a hundred.

We were there for a week the middle of March. The no see-ums were already bad starting around 4pm each afternoon. Mosquitoes and biting flies were starting to come out, especially around the swampy areas. We thought we were going early enough that they would not be a problem, but I guess the warmer than average winter brought them out early.
