yes, I've tried google, etc...no such luck, is it just a name for mosquito in a certain region of the US? Are they so tiny that we don't see 'em?

Noseems suck.
We did a canoing trip in Maine when I was a kid. Nothing kept the bastards off, and they went right through the screens in the tent. Had to sleep with a towel over your face.

they burrow into your hair and bite your scalp hence "no see-um"
they are like black dots with wings.
