Mosquitoes 3/ woodticks: still counting>

Lake superior. Ten hours tops from oshkosh.

Spent the week of the 4th in the UP. Ticks and Black Flys kicked my butt.

My daughter and I just got back from a visit to my hometown of La Crosse. While driving back through Nebraska she complained about how many mosquito bites she had gotten the last two nights in La Crosse.

On her right foot she had 20 on her ankle and foot. The left had only 8. There were more on her arms and neck. Her right foot was peppered with red itchy bumps.

The mosquitoes were not that bad during the 5 days we were there. But that last night we were playing catch at the softball fields across from our house.

I just had a couple bites at the most.

Five or six so far this year in Austin. Slower than usual because it NEVER F%*$#G RAINS here anymore. Mosquitoes don't scare me though. They bite, I scratch. I power through.

I save my scaredness for snakes.

10.5 inches at my home in the past 2 weeks. Thanks, I now have a mosquito problem.

In the Triad of NC, between 5 and 8pm every evening, you can Lean against them.
Bloody Hate it here.

They can get a little thick, but every time I see a Lake Fly......It's not a mosquito.

There's a skeeter on my peter, knock it off!
There's another on my brother, knock it off!
There's a dozen on my cousin's
just to hear the bastards buzzin'!
There's a skeeter on my peter, knock it off!

I'm moving in next door.

Earlier I had spent all day in the cranberry marsh and had found a tick. That afternoon I'm cleaning up a pork tenderloin when I felt a tick moving in the middle of my back. I swing the knife to flick the tick off my back but accidently stab my skull. Blood pours down my head and I drop the knife stabbing my ankle. I now have blood gushing from two places and Sarge is shopping.

Two large towels with ice later I remember there was a tick as I shampoo the carpet to rid the blood trail.

Crowded out by lake lake flies in Winnebago county

Only 4 bites since I started this thread. The lack of rain along with the heat over the last few weeks has destroyed much of the population.

In fall, I will start a "Number of times attacked by Bigfoot" thread.

I fell victim for the first time, and was bitten on right ankle tonight as I cut my 30X40 Phoenix lawn. It itches more than I recall - need to put an ice-cold beer can on it......

I was also stung by a bee while on vacation in Maui two weeks ago - the first sting in 46 years....

A bird almost pooped on me too

I stepped in deer poop today while deadheading flowers in my garden. Does that count?

The one thing the drought doesn't seem to be affecting is the spiders. I've been walking into more spider webs this year than in any summer I can remember.

I can second that on spiders.

And at Miller Park Sunday we moved down to nice seats on the 3rd base line around the 9th inning and a few minutes after sitting down, for the first time in my life, I got bombed by some bird along with two people in the two rows in front of me. only hit my shorts so I couldn't complain too much. but when it first hit I thought it was starting to rain. well, it was I guess, raining ****.
