Yall need to go to India. Just got back with dozens of bites after wearing long sleeve and sweatpants the whole time. Every day is a constant battle against 30-50 mosquitoes.

I went to a party near a lake and saw something that shook me to my core. Swarms of hundreds of mosquitoes just flying around as tho they were gnats. I don’t care about the eco web or whatever, scientists need to just delete these guys from existence

To be fair, this is basically most of northern Canada in May/June as well. Also add black flies to the mix, which take small, anesthetized chunks out of you to make you bleed so that they can lick the blood off your skin... sometimes in clouds so thick, you have no choice but to just let it happen.

Wtf.. I have had a horsefly bite before which I think is similar and that shit actually hurts. I would take mosquitoes over that any day..

Horseflies are big and they hurt! Black flies are small and completely silent and hurt only afterwards. They also keep bleeding and bleeding… No bueno.

Awesome now I have more flies to be afraid of!
