Little black flies. Mosquitos can be swatted, or kept away with bug repellent. Those little black flies are too small and quick to swat effectively and ignore bug spray unless you're soaked in it. They also leave much bigger/itchier welts and tend to bite around the eyes and mouth. Truly they are Satan's insect.

The only thing worse than mosquitoes is a tiny drone with a syringe needle attached. Because if that ever came to be then even DEET wouldn't save us.
