English term or phrase: midges, mosquitoes, no-see-ums
Hola! Tengo un problema con estos términos, ya que según lo que he investigado en inglés son distintos pero en castellano los traducen siempre como mosquitos. También aparecen otras clases de insectos como deer flies, dark flies que las llaman moscas pero por las fotos que encuentro parecen mosquitos.

Espero puedan ayudarme, saludos!
Gracias!!
