August mites ( Chiggers)

[muddy]

I am bitten to pieces by August mites .
Or in the case of my garden August ,September and possibly October mites .
They are also known as Harvest mites or Chiggers
They are tiny little blighters you can't see them but they bite big.
Luckily I am in love with the Anthisan and always have a tube at hand

I virtually never get bitten. Either they don't like my smell or maybe I do get bitten but my skin doesn't react to it.

Never heard of them.. never been bitten.. Thick skinned !!

There'll be lots of local names  for biting flies. They all might even be different ones all over the place as it seems to be God's hobby creating beetles and flying bity things. With billions of species of them he must have created hundreds of species every day since he created the world on  October 23rd 4004 BC.

When I had a place in the country there wasn't a day went by that I didn't come across another new to me horrible creepy crawly thing in the house. I probably robbed science of umpteen unknown species evicting the damned things.
