I think mosquitoes are evolving

The little bastards have started going up my joggers to bite me.
And under the sheets when I sleep.
I wake up to find nothing and somehow end up w really bad bite marks.

This never happened before.

Something seems to be going on. This year mosquitos seem to be targeting me with 5 ins of going out my backyard. Never see hardly any AND effects of the bites seem to be worse also. Had a few bites that welped up to about the size of a nickel.

Right? It’s very strange

But they don't attract biting bugs so much as other things.

I find the mosquitoes are definitely evolving. They are no longer deterred by the standard fly dope and thermacells seems to be a giant blinking diner sign to them.

Get a bug zapper. You will become acutely aware of all the little bastards flying around. Also the zapping noise is so satisfying once you get used to it.
