Thanks, Lynnette! Seems these
Thanks, Lynnette! Seems these guys are ubiquitous down here in the Fort Myers area. Got multiple bites from them while working on wooden fence repair. Thought they were just no-see-ums or mosquitoes until I saw the hard, red lumps from the bites the next day. The lumps seem to go down in a couple of days, though.
