Do they bite?

Not to my knowledge. I keep a super clean coop. I don’t think they’re fruit flies but kind of bizarre that they’re in/around the coop. They’re not hovering on poop or anything. Just on the walls. None of the girls have them on their body

I'm always amazed at how many different species come through my way en mass seasonally, it's always something new. I'd say some sort of wasp, but as to what is beyond me.

Updating this thread! I asked 2 reputable entomologist friends and seems like they’re book lice. Despite the name, should be harmless. For posterity as well, in Washington state.
