The more common names for these nasty critters is sand fly. They are of considerable public health risk as they can transmit several viral, bacterial, and protozoal disease-causing organisms in humans and other animals.
It seems they breed around mangroves, and particularly in low growing, rank vegetation. I would speculate that the very humid conditions we have at present have more to do with the swarms of sandflies.
Nevertheless, the piles of debris lying about town are unsightly. It seems La Huerta would rather wait for residents to clean it themselves, as we did, than send out their own crews.
Ah, life with no taxes.
