Grok said fungus gnats. I've lived in St. Tammany 40 years and have never seen or heard of these

Some type of midge, probably non-biting. There are a bunch of different species.

Grok is, not surprisingly, wrong.
ETA: If you're going to use an AI app to ID insects the best by far is iNaturalist. It isn't perfect, but you can narrow your search down to specific location. It will give you a list of most likely matches. You can also upload for other users to give their opinion.
It is a midge of some species. There are too many to really narrow it down just from that pic.

IDK, but he's staring at you for sure.

Correct.

Just stain stuff. Still a PITA but not as bad as mosquitoes or gnats.
Key Facts About Blind Mosquitoes:
Not True Mosquitoes: They are freshwater midges (Chironomidae), not true mosquitoes (Culicidae).
Harmless to Humans: They don't bite, suck blood, or transmit diseases.
Attracted to Light: Their swarms often gather around lights, causing issues for homes and vehicles.
Messy Pests: They stain paint, cars, and indoor furnishings, creating large piles of dead insects.
Nuisance, Not Danger: Their annoyance comes from their sheer numbers and swarming behavior, not from biting.

Those are the Russian variant of the genetically engineered war mosquitoes that NATO and the globalists released in Ukraine.

Swarming like a MFer.

We had a swarm of some really small gnat type bug in Covington a month ago. They didn't bite but got into everything. Lived in this area my whole life and have never seen them before.

I hate midges they’re all over my farm. Open your mouth and those assholes aim to fly right down your throat and you spend 10 min trying to cough it up

That's a midge fly. I drove through a swarm of them on the causeway once. They smell god awful too.
