Mosquitos!!!!!!

Head up to Alaska in the summertime if you want to see a real mosquito...they come equipped with their own landing gear and tailhook!

Anything that inserts a syringe in my body without my permission is put to death instantly...if only I had a clue they were there...I hate these things, and the irony of scratching the bite and making it worse is all the more aggravating!

LOL I don't doubt it! (The northwest can be brutal) When I was in Tacoma, Washington in summer 2007, I felt like the world itself was (truly) angry at me. Mosquitos RACKED me and my fellow trainees during our outdoors exercises.

Florida is supposed to have an excessively large population of huge Galliniper Mosquitoes this year.

For size comparison:

I do not allow standing water and my septic tank is covered so I rarely see them anymore. The little lady feels their effect more often.

Seems like marriage is a neat little bug repellant jk

It's weird because in my family the little pests always gravitated towards the males. Not sure if it's a geographical thing, blood condition thing or what. Just strange.

Mosquitos here in orlando tend to be a pain in the neck as well. And ive noticed they've gotten bigger as well, must be steroids in the water or something lol..summer time is never fun with them, the Nats and the "love bugs" all over the dammn place..Had a buddy tell me that listerine mouthwash is suppose to be a really good repellent. its what him and his buddies spray on themselves when out hunting. If it doesnt work at least you smell minty fresh i guess

Honestly, as much as I want to visit Florida, I keep thinking about the pest problems down there. I'll eventually go, but I'm definately not looking forward to confronting this "army of the damned" you speak of

Same here in Red-Neck country! In Canada, they can actually carry you off to devour you.
