Little Bitty Black Bugs

Guest

They are all over here, and they like biting.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? :think: If so, do you know what they are called?

Susie, they might be noseums, or noseeums, or no-see-ums. I've seen it spelled lots of different ways. And they're very annoying.

I thought I was going to read a tongue twister: Little bitty black bugs bled black blood. :Hahaha:

Hmmm, is that why they're named no-see-um because you can barely see 'um?! :haha:

That's what I was expecting Rob to say too, Lily. ROTFL

Spring is finally here, the lovely pink blooms on the "spray" tree outside my window are gone leaving a beautiful willow.

They are called "no-see-um" because you NO see them....if you can barely see them, they're called "barely-see-um".......

:gross: I've never encountered any stink bugs, thank goodness. I don't think I've ever seen them before. :unsure:

We've got all the bugs talked about here.

I can't stand no-see-ums. They drive my mom crazy!

We have stink bugs, too. They like the garden for some reason!

I think these are what come out every fall here, but ours have an orange shell...and I don't think they stink? So maybe this isn't it, but it sure does look like it! They don't 'do' anything (no biting), but they're desperate to get inside!

I think you may be talking about Boxelder/Box Elder Bugs.

Some of them have more orange on them than that one does.

That would be a bug that makes its home in old boxes....or old bugs that live in boxes...........
