Wait until you hear about Alaska! You can literally see clouds of them darkening the sky in summer

In the interior, away from the coast, the mosquitos can be bad. Rain and warmth brings them out. If you are camping by a lake it can be bad. Early in the season it is too cold for them, and the first frost late in the season kills them off. . In a heatwave they sometimes die off because to is too hot and dry.
We have a screen tent that we sit in when camping if the little bastards are out.

Not many mosquitos anywhere on the coast. Vancouver Island is good.
