These little creatures are torturing me. Every morning when I go for my walk, they bite/sting me. Only go for the top of my head, so I guess I will have to start wearing a ball cap when I walk. I live in West Central Louisiana

Looks like a deer fly, a blood-feeding fly in the family Tabanidae - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deer_fly#/media/File:Chrysops_caecutiens-s.jpg
They can be very persistent...

Yes, I think that is what it is. Thanks for your help!
