Ya know, I don't really mind the blood sucking part of mosquitoes. I don't like it, but that's their thing, so can't complain about that.
It's the dang diseases and the itch from hell that comes with it. Why can't they just suck blood in peace?
I'm saving it for a little QT đŠ

And the flying next to your ear when you try to sleep

Itâs a blood thinner. That itch comes because we are allergic to the blood thinner they inject so they can suck more easily.
Some people claim to not get bitten by mosquitoes ever. Thatâs false, they are simply not allergic to the blood thinner and nothing shows up after the mosquitoes leave, so they donât think they were bitten.

I just returned from three weeks of mostly tent camping. Those assholes wouldnât even let me close the tent door in the morning before landing on my legs.

Terrible idea if you are serious i have had people seriously suggest trying to do this it would be terrible on the ecosystem that feeds on them and their eggs including for example already engendered amphibians and thatâs just what we can predict.

Wasnât there a study recently that debunked the claim that mosquitoes were actually important?

I visited my friend for two days in VA the past week and got murdered by mosquitoes
These east coast mosquitoes have hands and I was not prepared

Literally climate change.
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7068582/
Weather has a big impact on mosquito numbers & feeding behavior:
- Cooler temperatures = more mosquitoes
- Higher humidity = more mosquitoes
- More rainfall = more mosquitoes (for some species)

Climate is moving north, thus your area is likely getting wetter and more humid.
FuckFascism@lemmy.world âš17â© âšhoursâ© ago
Partially correct, mosquitos prefer warm humid environments with stagnant water to lay their eggs also they suck at flying so if itâs windy outside you wonât be bothered be many.

In the trail near my home they are downright relentless. Itâs a popular place people go why are you biting me as if youâll starve.

I have on several occasions left my uncovered leg as an offering for them so that they would stop zzzzZzzzZZzZing in my ear while Iâm trying to sleep. They do it anyway. This is why we donât negotiate with terrorists.
