Reading through this, I now believe this is what got me last week hiking around a lake.

They don't last as long as chiggers and the welts are smaller.

I told my buddy that the chiggers must of had a hatch but this makes more sense.
 

I thought I was in the clear as the brush I encountered was dry and I would not have gone in there if it was damp or after a rain..

Up here in the north Missouri woods, we prefer the term "Sky Chiggers"
