Similar beasties in British Columbia. Locally known as 'no-seeums'. Not as prolific where l live as shown in the photo in this post, but annoying enough when paired with the 3 or 4 types of mosquito we have here in the Skeena Valley. They can go through window screens on hot nights with ease.
I was once bitten all over by the little bastards when I was launching a boat into Loch Lomond. Had the lightweight boat on my shoulders (there were others too) and needed both hands so I couldnβt swat them off. The next day, I was so itchy I had to go and see a dermatologist who prescribed Cortizone, which eventually worked.

Imagine waking in the middle of night in bed and you are swarmed in this. Might aswell burn the house
