These bugs are also known as no-see-ums, punkies, five-O’s, and moose flies but they all belong to the same family of insects. Currently, there are over 4,000 classified biting midge species. Not all biting midges bite people. Just like mosquitos, only female no-see-ums need to consume blood in order to provide nutrition for their eggs.
