Just for clarification, this is a mosquito and not a fungus gnat???  
Every time I turn around, I find one of these little buggers… and I think they are biting us! I found four of these critters on our white sheets last night… Icky icky! If they are teeny, weenie mosquitoes, is something like Zevo my best bet? TIA. 😊💚🪴

They are mosquitoes. Fungus gnats are smaller than fruit flies.

Ah-ha! So it is a mosquito. We live in a super dry area, I wonder what in the world they’re doing here. I didn’t know such a teeny weenie mosquito existed. TXS for your post. Regards.

definitely mosquitos, although i can see the confusion as they are quite smaller than the ones i’m used to anyways. they just seem to be everywhere, even if they’re not supposed to be 🫠🫠

Bummer! I am terribly “unfond” of skeeters… they give me awful bites, big, big, big, and itchy, itchy, itchy! I bet you can guess I’m not a mosquito lover.😝

There are over 3500 types of mosquitoes. I suffer from their bites. No see ums (biting midges) and sand flies are worse. Their bites always cause infections.

Offta! I can commiserate with you! So sorry you have problems with all those darn biting bugs. To me, there is nothing more annoying than a big mosquito bite😖! Regards.
