Black flies

Black flies. Not dangerous, just the most annoying thing on earth. Like flies you can't swat away.

Fun fact. Any of them that enter indoors will settle on windows when the sun starts to set. You can squish them one by one and they won't even try to run away. That way you wont get woken up by those nasty fuckers.

Also their recent appearance is probably due to an increase in water quantity in your area like most flies.

My friend those are black flies.

They can kill wild animals like moose or deer. I guess there must be others.

I guess the animal will die from drowning (they try to submerge) or freak out and go crashing around.

Might be total BS.

Not black flies. Black flies are much larger.

This is what I found out. But what's the species? It would be like calling something a cat. What kind? House, cougar, lion, tiger...

Probably a midge (ceratopogonidae) but you'd need to get it under a microscope to id it properly
