In the middle of my back too so I cannot dab the After Bite pen on them either. Evil little shits seemed to know I can't reach these bites
Itchy lumps for a week now
Those little flying turds are sneaky, silent and they absolutely won't give up until either they have your blood or you splat them. Even having your shirt on won't give you that much protection either - they are equipped to bite through a horse's hide after all.
For me they sit alongside wasps under the "what's the point of them" category.
