SUMMARY: Late winter and spring along the northern Gulf coast bring mild weather but also the annoyance of no-see-ums, tiny biting insects. These flies, also called punkies or sand gnats, are known for their painful bites, caused by females using saw-tooth mandibles to draw blood. Culicoides mississippiensis, a common species, thrives in wet habitats like tidal marshes, with high populations during late winter and early spring. Though irritating, they play an ecological role, feeding on nectar and preying on small organisms as larvae. While repellents like Avon Skin-So-Soft help, no-see-ums are a seasonal nuisance for coastal living.

SUMMARY: St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated on March 17, honors the missionary who introduced Christianity to Ireland. This festive day, where everything turns green, was brought to America by Irish immigrants. Boston held the first official observance in 1737, while St. Augustine claimed the earliest celebration in 1600. In Mississippi, St. Patrick’s festivities kick off in Biloxi with a parade and family-friendly festival on March 15, 2025, followed by Jackson’s Hal’s St. Paddy’s Parade on March 22. Celebrations span the state, inviting everyone to wear green and partake in the fun, avoiding leprechaun pinches along the way.
