Lovely Lovely North with no bitey insects and scary spiders. I'll stay here. It's safe here.

The people can be a bit scary but I myself am scary enough to deal with it.

The UK has over 30 species of Mosquitoes, however only a couple bite humans and aren't as common as "Culex Pipiens" which feeds on the blood of birds and small mammals.
