A gnat /ˈnæt/ is any of many species of tiny flying insects in the Dipterid suborder Nematocera, especially those in the families Mycetophilidae, Anisopodidae and Sciaridae.
In English, the term applies particularly to Nematocerans of the family Culicidae (mosquitoes). The common gnat is the species Culex pipiens.
Male gnats often assemble in large mating swarms or ghosts, particularly at dusk.
Gnat larvae are mostly free-living and some are aquatic. Many feed on plants, though some are carnivorous. Larval plant feeders (such as the Hessian fly larva) cause root, stem, or leaf galls to be formed by the host plant. Some species of fungus gnats (families Mycetophilidae and Sciaridae) are pests of mushrooms and roots of potted plants in homes and greenhouses.
Some South American Pleurothallid orchids are pollinated by tiny gnats and have correspondingly small flowers.
The Folland Gnat is a small, swept-wing British subsonic jet trainer and light fighter aircraft developed by Folland Aircraft for the Royal Air Force.
The Gnat was designed by W.E.W. Petter as a development of the private venture Folland Midge. It first flew in 1955. Its design allowed its construction without specialised tools by countries not highly industrialised. Although never used as a fighter by the Royal Air Force (RAF), the Gnat T.1 trainer variant was widely used. The Gnat became well known as the aircraft of the RAF's Red Arrows aerobatic team.
The Gnat was exported to Finland, Yugoslavia and India. The Indian Air Force became the largest operator and eventually manufactured the aircraft under licence. India then developed the HAL Ajeet, a modified and improved variant.
The Gnat was the creation of WEW "Teddy" Petter, a British aircraft designer formerly of Westland Aircraft and English Electric. It was designed to meet the 1952 Operational Requirement OR.303 calling for a lightweight fighter. Petter believed that a small, simple fighter would offer the advantages of low purchase and operational costs. New lightweight turbojet engines that were being developed enabled the concept to take shape. In 1951, using company funds, he began work on his lightweight fighter concept, which was designated the "Fo-141 Gnat". The Gnat was to be powered by a Bristol BE-22 Saturn turbojet with 3,800 lbf (16.9 kN 1,724 kgp) thrust. However, the Saturn was cancelled, and so Petter's unarmed proof-of-concept demonstrator for the Gnat was powered by the less powerful Armstrong Siddeley Viper 101 with 1,640 lbf (7.3 kN / 744 kgp) thrust. The demonstrator was designated Fo-139 "Midge".
An air force, also known in some countries as an air army, is in the broadest sense, the national military organization that primarily conducts aerial warfare. More specifically, it is the branch of a nation's armed services that is responsible for aerial warfare as distinct from an army, navy, or a marine corps. Typically, air forces are responsible for gaining control of the air, carrying out strategic and tactical bombing missions, and providing support to land and naval forces.
The term "air force" may also refer to a tactical air force or numbered air force, which is an operational formation either within a national air force or comprising several air components from allied nations. Air forces typically consist of a combination of fighters, bombers, helicopters, transport planes and other aircraft.
Many air forces are also responsible for operations of the military space, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), and communications equipment. Some air forces may command and control other air defence assets such as anti-aircraft artillery, surface-to-air missiles, or anti-ballistic missile warning networks and defensive systems. Some nations, principally Russia, the former Soviet Union and countries who modelled their militaries along Soviet lines, have an air defence force which is organizationally separate from their air force.

Sciarid flies (aka fungus gnats) can be a real pest for indoor gardeners. Find out how the fungus gnat breeds and the damage these bugs (or rather, their larvae) can do to your plants. We discuss preventative and reactionary tips for pest control and eradication by targeting multiple lifecycle stages simultaneously. Three biological pest control methods are described as well as the use of botanical insecticides, miticides and nematicides—also physical techniques using diatomaceous earth and block covers.
Living in the Ozarks, we get a lot of these annoying gnats every summer that can just drive you mad! As I spend lots of time behind a computer, having these little critters flying in my eye, ears, etc. is beyond annoying. Learn how I deal with this problem by making an effective gnat trap. Put several around the house and within a few hours you will see the difference.

Detailed instructions for tying a Griffiths Gnat Fly.
A short video of my flight in North Weald based Folland Gnat, G-MOUR. 14th of August, 2016. A fantastic British aircraft! Small, very agile and fast. Loved the ride. The video was taken on my Samsung S6 Edge+ phone camera.
A fantastic midge pattern! God Bless!!! And thanks for watching!!! Fly tying tutorial, fly tying lesson
J'aurais voulu changer les choses
Changer le monde
Avoir ce qu'il y a de mieux
J'aurais voulu changer les choses
Changer le monde
Pour être encore un peu hereuse
J'aurais voulu te parler et ne plus faire comme avant
Attendre et espérer, on a perdu trop de temps
Je n'avais plus les pieds sur terre, je ne croyais qu'en mes prières
Mais les rêves qu'on a faits se sont tous envolés
Je n'avais plus les pieds sur terre
Je ne savais qu'être sincère
Si seulement j'avais su
Changer les choses
Changer le monde
Avoir ce qu'il y a de mieux

Pour déjouer les mauvais tours à mon trop grand sentiment
On n'avait pas les pieds sur terre, on ne voulait qu'être sincères
J'y vois clair maintenant
