That's them. They are very small and intensely itch but it doesnt last long and doesnt leave a welt on most people. Different experience for those who have sensitive skin/ skin disorders.
I don't think so. The mosquitos that are around now are the invasive Asian Tigers. They only bite during the day and can continue to breed in the tiniest amount of standing water. If it stays warm those bastards will be around into October.
Thanks. Maybe not a valid comparison though, particularly in recent times, given the warming oceans. Seems logical it would be more difficult to achieve anomalous cold of the same magnitude during a La Nina.
