Ive been doing a fair bit of fell/moorland riding this summer and im sick to death of these flies with red marks. I cant find anything about them on the internet but would just like to know if they are harmless. Was out today and it almost ruined my ride, there were freaking milllions!

Ladybirds?
There have been a lot of them this year apparently:

I forget what they are called but they are harmless. Don't bite humans, just form a big cloud around you. Quite frequently seen at this time of year. Just a nuisance, but nothing else. Quite often around large areas of heather moorland.Frank Yates0

I'm plagued with flying ants at the moment. Apparently the very humid weather is ideal for them.0
