Thanks Eric, I think you're probably right. I hadn't considered this family since the species that bite humans are so much tinier, but other members of the family do get much bigger. I'll move this to the family guide page.

hi, i live in Morocco and this photo is the closest image i've found to what has been driving my family nuts! they definitely DO bite humans. they hang out on the walls, are attracted to light and feed on blood. we've noticed that once they've fed, they turn black. they are pretty crafty in eluding us and getting inside mosquito nets and our kid is covered with bites, despite all our efforts. anyone with info on how to repel them will be hailed as a hero! i've tried all kinds of natural repellents, as i'd rather not expose our baby to DEET. recently, someone told me that plug-in mosquito cartriges work. HELP!
