Crossing my fingers for you VanIsle!!!
We've got a bumper crop of Mosquito's this year. With all the rain, they
expect that we'll see about 10 times the average population this year...
We have the same problem here. Every time I kill a mosquito, twenty more show up for the funeral
No Man...this is like nothing I've ever seen. Mosquito's usually don't bother me. Maybe
it's a genetic quirk or something (same with my sister), but I'm getting bite this year
for some reason.
Oh Oh! Monsanto mutant mosquitoes! Run for the hills Ron!
Hills? Seriously....Hills? That would be a Loooooong run.
The dragon fly air force seems to be out in full force. BTW there are some really cool drumlins right on the outskirts in the north west or there is Goose **** Mtn at Douglas park. Can you run the 15 blocks?
That's almost exactly 15 blocks from my place!!! I saw a Dragonfly yesterday bigger
than any hummingbird I've ever seen. That thing looked like it needed landing lights.
It had to be 4" long and about 6" across the wings...or so it appeared at the time.
Well with skeeters the size of pelicans I'm not surprised.
They will only get bigger as the days go by.
Oh yeah... dragonflies hurt like hell on a motorcyle. Don't smile either. They don't taste so good.
D-flies aren't near as bad as 3" long June beetles. Beetles are heavily armored and feel like cricket ball impacts. Caught one right square mid helmet just above screen doing about 85 MPH one time. It rocked my head back like a limb from a tree hit me.
Birds! Luckily it hit my clavicle and not my neck.
