Bugs! Augh....

Someone needs to have a chat with the no-see-ums at the cottage, because they clearly did not get the memo.

I CAN SEE YOU!


They are clamouring at the windows at night in such numbers that, as Dad put it, it looks like the roiling bubbles of a fizzy drink (think Guiness). Gyagh.

Combine the sheer quantity of bugs with a less-than-airtight window and you get a fog of bugs buzzing around the kitchen lights. By morning, the table, counter, and floor are littered with their crunchy corpses. 

I don't know if they're really no-see-ums. The Interwebs indicate that no-see-ums are midges, and they bite. These don't bite. At least, I think they don't. They're a bit bigger than your average midge, too.

Anyone know what the proper name is for these bugs-of-stupidity?

Gah. We really need to sort out the screens on our windows.
