Those are midges, they look a lot like mosquitoes but they don't bite. Many
years ago I was teaching an insect class to some elementary kids at our outdoor
education area. We caught midges and skipper "butterflies" and I told the kids
what they were. One mother quipped, "Do you have Barbies too?!" Having been a
major tomboy growing up, I didn't play with dolls, so it took me a few seconds
to figure out what she was talking about! :)
I got a really weird little critter on my sheet last night, I'll post a photo
when I get it off my camera.
