Sounds like mosquitos.


To cold for mozzies ATM.


Not completely. As the local authority head biologist in Leiden found,
mosquitoes can breed in your home. In his case they bred in water in a plant
pot.


We've had them trying to come in all winter - until the last couple of cold
days. But the OP's ankle level bites sound more like fleas or sand flies!
