I didn't see any groups for insects or pests so I thought I'd ask
here. Our house is surrounded by flying insects that I thought were
mosquitos but my mother says they can't be because they don't bite.
My dad says they're too small to be mayflies. The ones I looked at
with a magnifying lense had short fuzzy antennae that goes forward,
very small round body with a long black (tail?) the same length as the
wings with six long legs. I know they aren't house flies because they
are rounder with short legs.

During the day they hang out under the shady roof overhang. A couple
of days ago I was outside during the coolish, somewhat windy morning
and when I started walking to the house a swarm of them flew in my
face. (They enjoy flying in faces.)

I tried to find a good picture of a mosquito on the internet but so
far I haven't found one.
