What are those bugs that flutter around the walls and corners in the house after you leave the window o pen at night.. I always called them "mosquito eaters" because they are not supposed to be mosquitos.. but what do they do? what are they called?
also.. when i wake up with a mosquito bite it isn't from those things, right? because I'd think i'd notice them biting me. (i've argued with a friend who was convinced they were mosquitos)

I see those things in my place all the times.
You've set my mind at rest. I used to wonder whether they were really huge mosquitos, and then have visions of one of those things landing on my face or my arm to suck my blood when I was asleep.

I always called them mosqitoes eaters too. They don't bite, so don't worry about that. My cousin ate one once!!! Gross!!!
