Summer’s coming. Yesterday I posted on Facebook that I was going to start sleeping naked and 14 mosquitoes hit the “Like” button.

Winter is coming here in the southern hemisphere - I will be keeping watch for the White Walkers.

I have mozzy nets on every door and window in the house, so I sleep naked in fresh air, unmolested.
Except that we also have "flying teeth", so named because they are like a set of ultra- miniature dentures equipped with wings. They are so small they can pass through normal anti-mosquito mesh and we have to use extra-fine mesh.
What's more, they ignore the Facebook terms of service!

Midges? What diseases do they carry?
Ha! We call them "noseeums"!
@FrayedBear Possibly dengue fever. But their bite itches for days!
@Petter Is that two of them or one with a black blob in the middle? Ok, I've just enlarged it, the white are the wings? Body head on so can't properly see it. It looks like a midge. Midges breed in peat.
Our latest horror from mosquitoes is the very debilitating Ross River fever which has now spread down from N. Australia.
LOL! I sleep under a ceiling fan since stinging insects can't fly in a wind.
