They are flying hair eating bugs that can get tangled in your hair whilst trying to eat through the hair and into your scalp, lays it's eggs which bury into the brain causing instant death on hatching.
To date doodle bugs have caused 4562 recorded deaths and that is expected to multiply 10 fold due to global warming.
They are allergic to hairspray and gel, so use plenty.
Hope you feel better now!

If these are the beetle looking bugs that fly around the light at night we in Texas call them june bugs. They are really the adult stage of a grub worm. The have no interest in humans, hair or otherwise. The can get tangled in you hair but cause no harm.
Ant-Lions. As immatures, ant-lions are known as "Doodle-bugs," and are generally familiar to most people. Doodle-bugs form cone-like pits in sandy soil, and then await at the bottom of the pit until a passing insect, often an ant, falls into the pit where it is captured and eaten. Sometimes insects don't fall into the pit for weeks, but the doodle-bug is able to survive between meals. It may be two or three years before doodle-bugs become adult ant-lions. Doodle-bugs should be kept in a shallow box or dish of sand where they will build pits to entrap live prey.
As a child we used a variety of chants to get the Doodle bug out of the hole. I don't know of a Doodle bug fly.
"Doodle bug! Doodle bug! Come and get something to eat."
Doodle bugs are very sensitive to vibration in the funnel traps they make. The vibrations of someones voice would bring them from their hiding place up to the base of his funnel trap. A Doodle bug is a little Grey soft bodied bug about ΒΌ of an inch long. On his head he has little hooked pinchers that can grab other little insects and drag it into his sand home, then eat it.
To my knowledge they do not fly, and it is unlikely one would get in your hair unless you layed in the sand on the funnel trap.
