Re: Little Black bugs
These horrible little feckers? The only thing in this world I hate more than wasps!
Made the mistake of wearing a yellow T shirt when I took the dog for a walk the other day. They wouldn't leave me alone! Swatted two off my arm that arrived simultaneously at one stage - I was walking around like a whirling dervish with tourettes!

I tried "avon skin so soft" today, I know it works to repel mozzies and I wasn't bothered by the horse flies after applying it, except for one on my belly, through my tee shirt while eating my bait!

Re: Little Black bugs
Sound like black flies? There was a plague of them last time I fished the Ebro. They punch ridiculously above their weight compared to something the size of a midge. I came back with 52 bites and legs like an elephant's.
I thought I'd get some kind of immunity to bites after that lot, but it's been the opposite. Mozzle bites now come up twice as big!

Re: Little Black bugs
Double whammy when fishing yesterday! Got bitten on the shin by a Clegg and was covered in pollen beetles!
I've decided I don't mind pollen beetles. Give me a hundred of those to one Clegg any day!

Re: Little Black bugs
known as thunder flies in my part of the world I have recently been in cuba and my mrs was so badly bit by mossies that I had to take her to medical center they gave her piriton and this really reduced the swelling and itch tried some myself did not stop bites but the bites did not itch or swell up stops your body producing histamine
