To feed. The female biting midge is a bloodsucker - she needs to feed before laying her eggs. A nice, warm human body provides a welcome meal.
Millipedes do not bite humans. They have no venom or stingers, and their primary defense mechanism is to curl into a spiral or emit a foul-smelling substance. While handling them may cause skin irritation, their bite is not harmful to humans.
They bite pretty hard.
I sprayed myself with Jungle Formula insect repellent and (much to the amusement of my fellow campers) I was slowly surrounded by midges that were attracted to the smell. They also surrounded the spray bottle. To be fair, the midges didn't bite me, but they were so irritating that I went and showered it off - which solved the problem! Won't be buying that brand again

No, they're harmless.
midges.
Midges are known to carry diseases such as Oropouche virus, bluetongue virus, and African horse sickness virus. These diseases can be transmitted to humans, livestock, and other animals through midge bites.
Only one type of midges could bite a dog and those are Ceratopogonidae.
While midges themselves are not deadly, they can transmit diseases that may pose health risks to humans. Some species of midges are known to carry pathogens that can affect livestock and wildlife, but severe reactions in humans are rare. However, if a person has a severe allergic reaction to a midge bite, it could potentially lead to life-threatening complications. Overall, while midges can be irritating, they are not typically lethal.
Midges typically feed on nectar, pollen, and honeydew from plants. Some midge species also consume other insects or decaying organic matter as part of their diet.
Yes a nice vampire might bite a humans
Midges are members of an insect family called Chironomidae. They have similar wing and body structures as mosquitoes but they are missing the elongated proboscis. The proboscis is what the female mosquito bites with. Males have it too, but they just use it to suck nectar from plants. Mosquitoes also have scales on the wings.
A common genus of midges is "Chironomus."
The nouns are: pest, humans, bite.
Gnats are generally not harmful to humans, as they do not bite or sting like some other insects. However, certain types of gnats, such as biting midges, can cause irritation and allergic reactions. Additionally, they can be a nuisance in large numbers, especially around food and outdoor areas. Overall, while they may cause discomfort, they do not pose significant health risks.
They don't bite humans.
Vampires generally bite to feed on or to transform humans.
