   That was an incredible report.  Did you ever work out a   
   solution?   
      
   I've encountered very small flies that resemble hornets, but not     
   to the extent that you are describing.   
      
   During one part of our spring, there is a time when these tiny     
   flies (people call then "no see ems", 'cuz you don't really see     
   them) will squeeze through typically screened windows and into     
   the house.  The bites are annoying because the end result shows     
   up when you least expect it.
