Mosquitos what use are they?

[Rachel]

They do not bite me. For some reason they stopped biting me when I was in high school.

They'll have some use.

Get one of those bands.
I'm one of the lucky ones with skin, I don't burn, I'm as brown as now as what I'll be at the end of summer & I don't get bitten by mosquitos at all.
Charlotte my best friend however gets burnt if the forecast is going to be sunny & mosquitos, well if theres one somewhere within 200km of her, she'll be bitten.

When we went to Asia (KL, Thailand (Koh Samui, Bangkok & Kanchanaburi which is on the river Kwai), Singapore, Bali, Gigi T) in March Air Asia (cannot recommend them enough and $99 flights to Bali) were selling those bands. She got 2, however 1 lasted the whole month long trip, she didn't get bitten once.

I say give one of them a try

It isn't summer yet and South Australia is already starting to bake. 38C today, I'm sitting outside in my bikini at 9 o'clock at night moderating the forum, surreal !

The mossies are like bats, flying crocodiles. Where do these useless creatures fit in the world? Even the globe orb spider in a giant web seems to have given up, all mossie and no meat.

What damn use are they?

Mm looks like a OMG it is so hot my feeble brain is frying post.

population control of course, dear

Maybe they exist to keep ordinarily stationary people moving...  Like little flying Richard Simmonses, annoying as hell, relentless, and there to help people lose weight??
