i'm not 100% certain, but they could be midges. that's not a real technical description as the name applies to many species of tiny winged insects that hover around water or in damp/dimly lit areas. we have midges in our backyard that like to fly around our pool (which is a bit like a pond at this point...long story there). some bite but most don't. their main purpose is frog, bat, and bigger insect food.
and here's a link that will hopefully help you out a bit with identifying the species of midge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midge
Thankyou I think thats what I have.
