Wimpiri
In the evening, when the wind lies down, the Wimpiri come. They get into your eyes, ears or nose. Very little flies - about 2 mm.
Wimpiris don't sting or bite. They are just irritating and make your eyes itch.
The Wimpiri are often mistaken for Pragas, tiny bloodsuckers. The Praga is black and is so small that it is also called No-see-um.
