Default Midges
Most irritating insects ever. I dunno if they exist in England or elsewhere in the world, but they're generally out by leafy areas or out in the countryside in Scotland. My friend was covered in bites all over his body after he went hill walking at the weekend, just reminded me of how much I hate them. Anyone have any horror stories?

Midges have to be the most pointless type of insect ever. I used to live near the countryside, so I grew up running into the shadows with my arms spinning

They're a pestilence, there's nothing more frustrating than having to pass through a cloud of midges knowing that you're going to be eaten alive

Kinda like mosquitos, blood sucking creatures. And don't get me started on ticks either
