| | | Sweat flies?
I expect most of you have met these nuisances!
They don't bite but just buzz constantly round you. I usually try to ignore them, but after a while break down and grab a bunch of dry heather, and thrash around trying to kill them or drive them away. It never works but gives a modicum of grim satisfaction.
Insect repellent doesn't work because they don't land on you.
Are you bothered by them?
