They live!!! And they thirst for your blood!!! Got my first skeeter bite last night. Damned musky-toes already and it ain't even March yet, But I keeled that sumbeech!!! Nasty blood-sucking (expletive deleted). There are some 'signs of spring' I would rather do without.

@JolietJake That's usually the scenario here . . . but this season we actually have cold days with rain, and super rain like the other day. What's going on? Did Mother Nature fall off her rocker?

I haven't gotten bitten by a "musky toe" yet. The other day, I was chasing wasps around inside my house. Armed with a can of Raid, I think I managed to poison myself.

I need to pick a couple of cans up, I thought I still had a few weeks at least before they started showing up.

I assume that you are referring to mosquitoes, although I have not encountered this term before.

@JolietJake I hate those little vampires, but for some reason they seem to love me.

Nothing like that here. I am not looking forward to the mosquitoes in June though.

I had one buzz my face while I was on myLot last night and then he landed on my ankle and bit. He didn't get much blood though.

All it takes is a bit of water and warm days, and they're out to get ya! Other than that, they serve no importance in life. Too bad you didn't kill him before he bit you!

I must have very tasty blood because mosquitoes always choose to bite me instead of everyone else in the room. It's still cold for them here, I am sorry that you were bitten already.

In addition to mozzies, do you have no-see-ums? I got eaten alive by no-see-ums down in Florida.

No, but we have these really small skeeters that tear my legs up when I mow or just even walk around the yard during the summer.

Please, noooo! I was just thinking about this last night. Me: I wonder when the mosquitos will come out? I'm in Texas so, the answer is probably, today.

It's definitely early for them here in Illinois, even in the southern part.
