No seriously

In the great circle of life, in the chain that binds all living creatures on this planet, flora and fauna alike, what the fuck purpose do fucking mosquitoes fucking serve?

Fucking fuckers.

I wish I had access to the chat log, but rahalia_cat and I were discussing 'skeeters the other day, about how they're indesctructable, about how awful that "neeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" sound they make is. How they're like roaches -- they'd be the last creatures on earth.

I suggested the mosquito vs cockroach deathmatch. Which, when the rubble clears and the dust settles, would likely be followed by that infernal sound: "neeeeeeeeeeeeeeee".

Fucking fuckers.

Yeah. This calls for the Pissed Off Baby Emperor Penguin of Doom Icon.

SO with you on the 'skeeter rage! I'm being eaten alive! I work HARD to make my yard and gardens nice, and I would love to be able to drag a chair out there and relax with a book and enjoy the fruits of my labors.

BUT NO. That would be about as safe as leaping off the roof. GARH.

They provide food for more worthy creatures further up the food chain. *g*

But what does the fact that the humble mozzie feeds on us say about our status on the food chain? *ducks flying brick and runs away*

If they don't get stuck in amber, we can't reconstruct the DNA of dinosaurs for theme parks.

OBVIOUSLY.

Jesus, what a dumbass question. Sheesh.

You're right. Even GoogleFight agrees about the winner. Fun.

Some summers we have so many of those little creatures it's unbearable to be outside, but this summer's been so dry that there's hardly been any. Only when we went to Eastern Finland. Which, yes, was horrible as they were constantly there, flying and biting and making that irritating noise. Gah. You so have my sympathies. :/

One of my friends who is *always* the victim of mosquitos has used autan for a few years, which is great for outdoors. You don't have to envelop yourself completely with it; some generous strokes down arms, legs and the side of the face usually do.
*sends more cooling pads*

Ask the parents where the mosquitoe bite zapper (technical name, you know) is, as it works wonders. It uses heat, and if you get the area where you were bitten early on they don't even come up in itchy bumps. There should also be some off woods mosquitoe repellent around somewhere.

Chin up, not so long to go. Take her for a short walk around the block instead of a play in the yard if they're really bad.
