Chinch Bugs
What the heck are Chinch bugs?

Blissus leucopterus also known as the true Chinch Bug is a small (about 1/8th inch (3-4 mm)) North American insect in the order Hemiptera and family Lygaeidae. It is the most commonly encountered member of the Blissus genus which are also known as Chinch Bugs.
This tiny pest, rarely measuring over 6 mm in length, causes millions of dollars in damage per year, as homeowners seek to control chinch bug outbreaks by applying insecticides and replacing damaged grass.

That clears it up...thanks.
BTW, I just learned yesterday how to do a controlled burn in my back yard. I haven't actually done it yet, but I now feel intellectually equiped to try it out if I ever feel the need.
