Looking for information on the type of insect in my lawn and how to mitigate. When I walk through my lawn (bluegrass), I can see insects flying up from the surface. There’s quite a few and they appear to be small in size. If I don’t wear long pants or use insect spray while mowing, guaranteed to have a few bites just above my ankles. I imagine this might be common in Colorado?
Thanks.

Jim,
Thank you for your question.
Without actually being able to see the insect, it is difficult to know what it is.
I would suggest you contact a lawn service and have them come out to identify the insect and advise on treatment.
