    Tiny dot insects non flying,in hair and in cupboards
    Crawling feeling in hair. When I shake hair over bath, microscopic lack dots with what like clear wings but non-moving fall out.Whole shape is like a boomerang. I've taken them to pharmacist, he cldn't say what they were. Not lice, not fleas, tried all treatments,holistic and over the counter, no difference.I initially thought
    They were tiny gnats/fruit flies but no.

    Without photos, identification is very difficult. Since you already have specimens, a college biology department or an exterminator's office might be the best place to have someone take a look. If you're in the U.S. the state Department of Agriculture has an extension office in your county.
