The No-see-um

THE PICTURE ABOVE IS FROM WIKIPEDIA I DID NOT TAKE THIS PICTURE

Common Name: No-see-um

Scientific Name: Ceratopogonidae

Size: 1-4 millimeters a.k.a barely see-able!

Location Found: Requested by a Follower to reserch on

Life Span: I do not know but i am guessing maybe about a week or less?

How to keep no-see-um's away: Any insect repellant with DEET in it will do.

Other Information: They suck blood from animals as they do humans. The reason why you itch after you get your blood sucked by a tick, mosquitoe, or a no-see-um, you itch because when they release from your skin, they irritate it so it leaves a itchy spot.


Thank You Daisy for requesting me to post about these. I learned alot about them.
