The little sand flies or no-see-ums are what seem to cause me the most grief here in NZ. In Scotland the midges are a severe nuisance but I don't usually react badly to them. I suppose it's what you are used to.

In any case there was far too much of it. The female of some species of mosquitoes need animal blood in order to produce eggs. Not all species feed on humans. A few in NZ do.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-7030064388379995902013-03-01T12:28:44.177+13:002013-03-01T12:28:44.177+13:00 You give a grim notice that our mosquito seaso...

The sting site must be sore by now...that's a fair amount of blood.<br />I always take great pleasure in annihilating the heavy laden blood suckers when they're in flight, because they can hardly fly a foot off the ground, so it's so easy to get them then.VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-91349969597435211582013-03-01T08:07:39.264+13:002013-03-01T08:07:39.264+13:00Mmm, looks a bit like something out of a horror mo...Mmm, looks a bit like something out of a horror movie.
