+1, I'm not sure how bad the beaches up here are w/regard to sand flies, but if I had to name the most annoying insect, these would be on the short list, if not a the top.
Absolutely vicious, and apparently fresh meat is a special event on the beach so the entire extend family comes out to partake in the festivities.
