Here are my proposed corrections to Spartan Mosquito's ad on Amazon. Instead of showing biting flies, stable flies, gnats, and chiggers, they bought stock photos of a ked (Lipoptena cervi?), a heleomyzid fly (Suillia quinquepunctata?), a gall midge (Dasineura gleditchiae?), and a true velvet mite (Trombidiidae). #insect #repellent #entomology #TaxonomyFail
