No-see-ums are a family of flies with the scientific name ceratapogonidae. Also known as biting midges, the name covers over 5,000 species across the globe. In the United States, the adult flies are gray and have tiny hairs that create patterns on the wings. The larvae look like small white worms or caterpillars. No-see-ums are difficult to spot due to their small size, but may be easier to see after feeding on blood because the abdomen enlarges and takes on a red hint.
Junk Science at it's best? Ha.
