The sun's gone here now and it's gone all grey, looks like we're in for a bit of rain. It's gone very still too and the midgies are out
Midgies ???

In May ???.

Thats the males on the sniff..

Just watch out when the ladies come out looking for a blood feed for their babies ..

I thought the same George, never seen them this early before. Deffo midgies though, they appeared when the sun went in and the breeze dropped, I was kicking a ball around on the mossy lawn and must have woke them

Their mouthpiece is like a dagger .

If they pierce your skin and you brush it off the blood ouzes out .

It goes in about an eighth of an inch.

Hurts like hell after.

They also inject an anti coagulent to keep the blood from clotting .

Truly sent from the devil himself .
