Biting midges are gnats that bite in the yard. They also find themselves called biting flies, black flies, mud flies, no-see-ums, and sand flies. They look to blood and nectar to sustain their life cycles and natural histories in humid, moist habitats where decomposing plant matter and organic materials are abundantly accessible.
