Mosquito Blitzkrieg

Have you ever been overwhelmed by a mosquito attack? 

One evening on a recent camping trip, mosquitoes tormented me as I cut up pallets for our blazing campfire.

Mosquitoes think my wife is super-sweet (they are right), and they go after her with a vengeance. I had her go inside our camper for fear that I would lose her to a voracious swarm of mosquitoes that might collaborate to carry her off for a sumptuous sanguinary feast.

The mosquitoes even bit our little dog Kepler. At only 15 lbs, he’s definitely small enough for a swarm to carry him off, so he had to go inside the camper too.

I wanted to enjoy the campfire a little longer, so I lashed myself to the picnic table to prevent my being airlifted away by ravenous swarms of blood-thirsty mosquitoes.

Sometimes the Mosquito is called the “Insect from Hell.”…
