If our northwoods mosquitos are like B-52 bombers these guys are like F-16 fighters. They bore in and drill you very quickly with no preliminaries. <BR/><BR/>I hope you avoided most of the pests you describe on your recent journey to the homeland.DaveOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552131869044539704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286641616677658414.post-46875421926913043942008-06-17T13:04:00.000-05:002008-06-17T13:04:00.000-05:00I've always kind of wondered about the way the var...I've always kind of wondered about the way the various blood suckers seem to split up the territory. The biting stable flies will drive you crazy out in the open, but as soon as you step into the woods they drift away and leave you to the tender mercies of the mosquitoes and deer flies. <BR/><BR/>My personal favorites are the sand flies -- you don't notice them unless they crawl up your nose or into an ear while they're chewing on you. By the time you feel the blood running down your neck it's too late; they've sated themselves and moved on.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18359007443116549436noreply@blogger.com
