I live in Southwestern Ontario along Lake Erie. We have sandy-loam soil, and it’s typically a little warmer during the summer, although the lake breeze keeps it nice.

I was outside sitting on the lawn this weekend & felt my skin crawling. There were tiny insects (less than 2 mm) crawling all over my skin. I know it wasn’t ticks or fleas. I’ve seen them before.
I know we have black ants, red ants that bite, too wet for fleas & termites. I have no clue what these were. The only thing I could see was rusty coloured wings. I was thinking they were baby carpenter ants by googling them, but everything I read about them say they are 1/4″. They move quickly and move like ants. I don’t think they bit me, but just felt creepy. I only felt this while being outside. I also know what spider mites are, and these weren’t them. These were 2x the length.

Any ideas???
