Mosquitoes in the winds were the worst I have seen since western North Dakota, but the other bugs and flies were very sparse, so a bit of juice and bug jackets kept them at bay. But if you hike there it’s not whether you will get bitten, but how many times. But, lots of bugs usually equates to good fishing.
Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

I find it wierd that there are so many mosquitos out there that seem to be waiting for me to come along. I wonder what percentage of mosquitos come into this world and never find a mammal to bite? I would guess it's well over 99%.

I think you're probably correct. If the mosquitoes knew they only had a few days to live maybe they would evolve to pursue more satisfying goals, like mastering an instrument or seeing the Northern lights.
This last does not apply to Alaskan mosquitoes.
Well, enough mosquitos reproduce with the way things are(that is, enough mammalian blood) so I don’t imagine there’s much need to evolve differently. Unfortunately. I’d like to know, why the heck do they need to exist anyway. Bats and some birds eat them, but there are lots of other flying insects.... they sure make summer evenings in the mountains not so pleasant. Ok , rant over.
