Here in NJ in the afternoon or early evening, I can go in the backyard
and see these small bugs, small like mosquitos or gnats, that fly
around each other in a (2-foot diameter?) grouping that hovers about
4-5 feet above the ground. What are these ? Should they be left
alone or otherwise ? Thanks.

Could be a number of the different "cousins" of the fungus gnats or
midges just swarming about to breed. Doubt there is a concern unless
where you see them has a moisture issue to correct.


Lar. (to e-mail, get rid of the BUGS!!
