Does it feel like something is flying around you outside, but you can't see anything? While it seems like you're swatting in the air at nothing, chances are, no-see-ums are flying around you. Running into these bugs is inevitable, but you can take plenty of preventative actions to repel them while you enjoy your time outside.
No-see-ums, or biting midges, are bugs in the biting fly family. They get their name from being barely visible to the naked eye due to their small composition and light color.
