Gnat IS actually spelled with a "G". Taken from Encyclopedia Britannica: Gnat
(insect)
Any member of several species of small flies that bite and annoy humans. Several non-biting insects, such as the midges, which resemble mosquitoes, are also sometimes known as gnats. In North America the name is often applied to the black fly, midge, fungus gnat, biting midge, fruit fly, and other small flies that hover about the eyes of humans and other animals. And, I do live at the Lakes in Rancho el Dorado in a house near the lakes. The mosquitos must only be attracted to certain people, maybe it's a scent. Luckily for my husband, me and the people we have had over, we haven't been affected by any mosquitos. |
