I have 4 stuck under the screen on my laptop, they crawled under it last summer and died! actually inside the panel, not just under the plastic cover.

I hate them.

Usually refers to those little clusters of flies and/or mosquitoes.

And to the OP: I get the occasional one, turn more lights on and they will be drawn away

There's about 10 flying around my light atm. They generally tend to stay around my light so don't bother me too much. They're gone by the time I wake up.

Moths? I think the OP means mosquitos, which are much more annoying as they have a high pitch buzz and bite you

nah not moths, tiny little flying bugs, fairly sure they're midges, haven't had any mosquitos yet. Luckily I haven't had to swat too many moths this year either.

You should see the mozzies in nortern vermont they are massive and very aggresive.

Go to Scotland if you want to see a proper Midge

eddiemcgarrigle · 3 Aug 2011 at 08:19

It isn't a midge if it isn't trying it's best to chew into any part of your body it can possibly land on, leaving you with extremely itchy blisters for the next few days

Obviously you don't have this problem so it can't be a midge.

There's a few million of them there.

I do have a problem with them but with me riding my motorbike everyday, I have the satisfaction of seeing them die on my visor

GF had this happen to her last year... when she phoned up Dell they said they'd have to do a full screen replace.... makes sense, but bloody annoying...

Also shoot the wings off of them!

Oh... wait... that's not right...

I've not actually had an issue with them this year. Hardly even seen any.

Does not sound like a midge to me. Midges can literally ( and yes i mean literally) have people running for cover waving arms about. They can scare tourists away. Do not underestimate them.
