[He straightens his shoulders, considers for a second.]
They're small, fast, and difficult to see. Many of the victims didn't realize there was anything in the vicinity until they'd already been bitten, and very few if any were able to catch a glimpse afterwards. Those who did, victims or otherwise, were able to catch only glimpses; out of the corners of their eyes, in the shadows. They're aggressive, but [and here he has to swallow past the bubbling protest from his loss] they prefer stealth to an overt attack. They hunt individually, rather than in a swarm.
The poison is potent, but unpredictable; some last a few hours before they succumb, some a few minutes, some only a few seconds. But they all succumb. They clearly don't have any qualms biting through clothing, so probably best to stay as covered as possible. Not clear what they are and aren't able to puncture through, but the sturdier the better.
[He squints at the other people in the group.]
Short-range weapons are pointless, guns and other projectiles probably more trouble than they're worth. You're more likely to hit each other than any of them. Traps might be the most effective, assuming one of you is willing to be bait, since they don't appear to be interested in any other sort of prey. Magic [a dismissive shake of his head] too broad a category, not worth analyzing.
