πŸͺ° Believe it or not: Most of the small flying insects you're calling "gnats" aren't actually gnats at all.

While true gnats are vital to the environment for their role in nutrient cycling, there are several similar species including fungus gnats, fruit flies and more that are often confused with this important insect.
