Kotonkan(yoruba) or gnats. undecided
No-see-ums are also referred to as gnats, biting midges, punkies or sand flies. These flying insects are tiny, and their bites look and feel much like mosquito bites. You have almost certainly experienced several bites from these insects during your lifetime, only you may not have realized exactly what it that bit you. When these bites are unexpectedly discovered, most people dismiss them as the work of mosquitoes. Despite this dismissal, many people remain skeptical concerning the origins of these bites, but are, nevertheless, at a loss as to where and when they were bitten, and by what. Well now you know that you were not going crazy, and tiny mosquito-like insects do exist, and their bites are annoyingly itchy.

It's called ibuba in my language.
I can't stand their bites. Itches like hell. urgh!

I'm not sure, but it seems their victims are usually those that are new in the environment, or it could be that those living around there are already used to their wicked bites.
Mosquitoes are better than those tiny little satans. cheesy
