But I do have a nifty picture of mosquitoes completely covering my hat (I had so much DEET on my face that they confined themselves to the hat).Sean Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16429301144221551751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7384696295028916937.post-4701133894930721132012-01-20T17:10:00.058-08:002012-01-20T17:10:00.058-08:00I got terrible shivers just looking at that shot o...I got terrible shivers just looking at that shot of the back of (your?) head.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009433185355976238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7384696295028916937.post-33938133568680059882011-07-31T13:06:24.136-07:002011-07-31T13:06:24.136-07:00@Shane: hmm...cerebrospinal fluid-sucking insects....@Shane: hmm...cerebrospinal fluid-sucking insects. Mosquitoes of Leng, perhaps? I look forward to seeing your undoubtedly otherworldly take on an already creepy and unsettling group of creatures.<br /><br />@Don: I was afraid that we would have a bad mosquito year after all the flooding, but I can't remember a summer with fewer mosquitoes than this one.Sean Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16429301144221551751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7384696295028916937.post-76403915529822805922011-07-31T06:46:13.913-07:002011-07-31T06:46:13.913-07:00heh, I look forward to possibly facing that conjur...heh, I look forward to possibly facing that conjuration this fall! :)<br /><br />Yeah, the little blood suckers can drive you to distraction for sure.

Are you sure they didn't suck out any cerebrospinal fluid? :-)<br /><br />This is food for thought, especially given the setting book I am working on. Boggy wetlands are bad enough for mail laden adventurers to have to navigate, but add in blood sucking swarms of mosquitoes into the mix and things get REAL challenging!Shane Mangushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865733072718219138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7384696295028916937.post-87973734153324637952011-07-29T17:17:17.532-07:002011-07-29T17:17:17.532-07:00Yes, evening was the worst.

Going to Alaska last month I experienced how tenacious the llittle bloodsuckers can be when their dawn and dusk times of greatest activity take up all of what would usually be night.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.com
