Midge

I don't know whether I got this bite from a midge or a mosquito.

I was bitten by a pesky midge during our camping trip.

"I am being eaten alive!" cried Pippin. "Midgewater! There are more midges than water!"

Devils Lake is where I began my career as a limnologist in 1964, studying the lake’s neotenic salamanders and chironomids, or midge flies. […] The Devils Lake Basin is an endorheic, or closed, basin covering about 9,800 square kilometers in northeastern North Dakota.
