Really cannot see the creatures clearly but could they be a midge larva of some sort?


Ooohhh, could be! I didn't see that little tail thingy, but my eyesight is pretty bad now and I also really need new glasses, so I could easily have missed it! They definitely had little segments in their bodies, and midges are a good suspicion for here! Thank you :D
 
It's hard to identify bugs and larvae on this site, because there are so many species in the so many places we all live. I'm still traumatized by the fact there were no window screens in any place I stayed in England. If you did that here, you'd be devoured at night. I also get bitten by small mosquitoes here, where at my old place in central Canada, the mosquitoes were twice the size and easier to spot.

We just get house flies, wasps and the odd bee inside the house up here in the north of England, and they just get swatted or encouraged outside in the case of bees. We get clouds of midges in the garden but they don't come into the house. I don't think I'd recognise a mosquito if I ever saw one.

But there are things in the garden that do like to bite me. When we grew our own vegetables, when picking the veg I had to dress in leggings with socks overlapping the hems and a top with tight sleeves and tucked into the leggings to stop them biting me. I hate to think what the neighbours thought.

I wish that were the case where I live...during the warmer months, we dare not venture into our yards w/out mosquito repellant...they'd carry us away, lol
