I was outside for parts of today, I think it probably happened when I was reading on the porch.
Mosquitoes love me, absolutely adore me. I get ate up with them. I was itching at a bump on my face, come home from dinner to find out it's a mosquito bite.
Well, spring has sprung!
Do you get eaten up by insects?

Very lucky you then! I have to slather on sunscreen when I go out (I am pale as all!) or spray myself down with bug repellant.

@simone10 Yes definitely not pleasant smells!
I made up my own bug repellant last year. I smelled like a bottle of salad dressing.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I always hated that because of the smell

Lucky You. They are pesky little creatures.

@porwest Our yard has lots of holes and just generally gets soaked during a rain. I'm not sure how any pesticide would be effective, atleast not until we get that sorted out.

@ScribbledAdNauseum They are indeed. While it is not as strong or as effective as commercial grade pesticides, you could try one I like over the counter which is called Spectracide. I get it in the quart bottle that you hook up to the hose and just douse the lawn with it. Keeps away much more than just the pesky mosquitoes.

I don't remember what my blood group is but I am sure it has to do with that as well. I think that people once believed it was a person's skintone.

@LadyDuck Yes, but I think it used to be believed that it was to due with the skin-tone. I know I once thought that.

@ScribbledAdNauseum No, the skintone has nothing to do, it's the blood group.

There are some flies inside the home as well as outside.

I was outside at the time, and I haven't seen any flies buzzing around inside the house yet.

Lucky you. We've had enough warm weather and rain to breed them I guess. It was in the 70's today.

You don't usually feel it for a few minutes atleast. It has to get to the itching stage.

Sometimes, but so far they have been at bay here. They are one of the reasons I hate the summer here though. This place is bug central!

Wow I didn't think mosquitoes were out yet. They are a pain

It might not be a mosquito bite but it's big and white, so I assume it is.

I am assuming it's a mosquito as it certainly looks like one of their bites.
