I absolutely hate that we get Midges, Gnats and Mosquitos in the UK these days, it was mostly judge Midges when I was a kid, although you'd see a rare Gnat and Mosquitos were unheard of.

There are way more mosquitos now, never used to be a problem in the past. Awful things!

Yeah, we get a lot of the black/white legged ones, which are the ones that carry Dengue and Malaria AIUI

Well that's just awful, didn't realise we had those here

ElectronSoup> was mostly judge Midges when I was a kid

The problem with judge midges is, there's no reasoning with them... they're judge, jury and executioner (of bites)
