[RC] Question - Bugs - eekitserika@xxxxxxxx"Of course, Off and Long sleeves help too." WELL! Come up here to dear ol' New Hampshire! You just might think differently. Up here, our state BIRD is the Mosquito! I was out putting up fencing a few days ago and dressed accordingly - so as not to let things like "eight-legged creepies" and ticks into my clothing. However, thinking that because I HAD a T-shirt, a sweatershirt, jeans and tall socks on, I would be set against the buzzing kind. NOT! The little stinkers bit THROUGH my jeans. I have had them bite thru my riding pants before, but never thru jeans - either they were seriously hungry or some kind of mutant mosquito. I have skiter bites on my TOOCUS! I am just amazed! AND that is after I sprayed myself TWICE with OFF, or some other sort of bug repellent. Lesson to learn: Never underestimate the armies at dusk, all that will save you in the end is Mid-evil Armor and perhaps a good track record.
