July 19, 2006. I was attacked by the swarms of these critters at the edge of pine wood around 7 p.m. while shooting Drosophila on watermelon. Size around 1.5mm. These are my best results so far. P.S. And they bite REALLY bad. Dmitry Gavryushin attached the following image:  [156.31Kb] |

It is a female Culicoides, possibly C. stigma using Remm's key in Bei-Benko, but this fly would be best named by an expert. My experience of Culicoides is usually wishing I had a hat!
