A NEW BREED — by Steve Nadis
What’s up with mosquitos of late? It used to be they buzzed around long enough so that you could kill them. Or at least they’d land on your arm long enough for a swat. Now they’ve become incredibly stealthy. The last two nights, a mosquito was buzzing around me for hours and I never could get it. It would move in close for a second and then disappear as soon as I tried to locate it (and hopefully do it in). I was unable to get it either night and now remember this happened a lot last year as well, especially in the fall when they seem to invade our house. If last year was any indication, I’ll be battling these wily mosquitos for another month or two. And probably unsuccessfully at that.

Snark:
Are you sure the problem isn’t that you’re getting slower?
I don’t think that’s it, TB (aka M. Wisenheimer). But I believe one wise scholar once noted that they’re all relatives.
