What is the english name or scientific name for NIKNIK insect?

i have to research for this insect. please help!

What is the english name or scientific name for NIKNIK insect?
If I recall correctly, when I was in the Philippines nik-nik is what they called the sand fleas on the beaches. If so, they would be a member of the Talitridae family of amphipods and not insects at all. There will be many genera and species, it will probably take some serious research to determine the scientific name of the ones that are biting you.
Reply:what? what language is the word NIKNIK? are you talking about a crickit?





(RaNdoM brainwave - wonder what they call crickets in the African clicky language, Swahili?)
