Getting Rid of Tiny Orange Biting Bugs

June 24, 2011

dark photo of three segment winged insectIt's been a week since I first noticed a really tiny (1-2mm) orange/skin color bug on me. Since then it's been crazy. They always are at me when I'm outside (not inside). It's really hard to see it them. It looks like it can jump, but also fly.

Two weeks ago I rescued 2 lost kittens and took them home, so I thought I have fleas. I have no signs of fleas although I'm still concerned. Please help.

This bug can jump (that is why I am confused), fly, and move really fast. I haven't seen any on\in my hair (I check every day), only on my body when I'm outside (not inside). It seems like it does like sun. I actually have a picture of it. My husband put one that we found in his car under the microscope.

The bites look like really tiny red dots! Sometimes you have to look for it to see it. I haven't kept those kittens. I found them one day and the very next day I found people who adopted them. I have been in contact with them only for one day. My problem did start like 4 days after they were gone.

I was taking kids that I work with out on the playground in the morning before it got too hot out and I looked down at my white shirt and all over it were these tiny almost microscopic bugs that seemed worm like. They were most definitely orange in color and it freaks me out; what are they?

There are red bugs called Clover mites. They are of the arachnid family. They will die eventually after coming in the house of dehydration. They do not bite but they come in the by the thousands.

I would vacuum them and spray them with alcohol/water and see how well that works. I am wondering if this is the bug you are talking about.

I have been desperately trying to identify these also! I as well have been terrorized by them for years!! They seem to LOVE light colors, smoke, my glass front door! They do not bother my husband or son but absolutely terrorize me!! They bite but don't leave a mark. Ive had every mosquito service company in our area attempt to get rid of them but no luck!!

I have been able to use a sticky roller to capture these evil things but NEED to know what they are! Some have suggested noseeums but im not sure that is accurate. This picture above is the closest image I have been able to find. Lord I hope somebody can please identify them!

That would be a thrip, they're annoying microscopic biting bugs. Citrus thrips are super tiny, that might be what it is exactly.
