I live in tennesee and lately there have been what looked like small snowflakes falling from sky. ?

Question

upon looking at them they look like tiny white bugs and they bite also if they get on you. what in the world are these things? has anyone else seen them?

Answer 1

I'm a tennessean also, and I have been seeing them for several years. I can't remember the correct name for them but they are a type of moth.

Answer 2

We had bugs like that here in San Diego before. Have you seen leaves with a white web like material on  the underside of them? I would see those bugs living like that on my plants.
