Answer 4

I have seen those same bugs in Florida too.  Not sure what they are but as far as I know they do not bite.

Answer 5

Sounds like it may be something like a Chironomid midge - these are harmless insects distantly related to mosquitoes.  They often emerge from lakes and ponds in huge numbers, and come in a variety of colours; dark, red, and green are common.

Here's some pictures to compare http://www.arbovirus.health.nsw.gov.au/a...

It could also be any of a number of other small nematocerous flies, like a Chaoborus, or phantom midge.  http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2048/2425...
