Aims. We present a study of the mid-infrared properties and dust content of a sample of 27 H ii “blobs”, a rare class of compact H ii regions in the Magellanic Clouds. A unique feature of this sample is that even though these H ii regions are of high and low excitation they have nearly the same physical sizes ~1.5-3 pc.
