Where have the mosquitoes gone?

It is healthy and thriving here.

[Leep]

A mosquito attempted to bite obama but gave up after about 10 minutes.

[Noumenon]

I’ll throw in a shipload of yellow jackets as a bonus

[Westbrook]

Mosquito population up here in the woods of NH is about one-tenth what it was last year.

[Troublemaker]

Pretty normal amount (maybe even a little more) here in southwest Montana.

[Renegade]

South Jersey and the Poconos.Seems like the population has dropped bout 75% this year.Strawberry flies and dragon flies in abundance however

[lurk]

Insect populations are very fluid. Factors being food, water, chemicals, temps, predators, human activity. Count the little dead bodies mashed on your windshield and multiply by the millions of cars on the road.

All of those are doing fine here just like the mosquitoes.

[Ellendra]

They all moved to Wisconsin.

I don’t believe they’ve found a single mosquito in Florida that tests positive for the virus.

I thought Zika was caused by this:

You beat me to it, Mom :)

[Egon]

Just north of Minneapolis/St. Paul here. LOTS of mosquitoes, in case anyone wants some.

[M Kehoe]

Mosquitoes are everywhere. I’m scratching as I type.

Juneau has some nice mosquitoes.

So does Turkey.

Ft. Polk sucks. I had to pontificate...

5.56mm

There’s not a flicker of light from a firefly or a hummm by a honey bee in my yard. It is totally organic too.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

If you feel the lack just come and hang out in my brother's back yard for an hour.

You will come in looking like you have chicken pox.

Eastern PA. Haven’t seen any this year.

I’ve driven home well after dark with nary a smashed bug on the grill.

[Hot Tabasco]

Mosquito populations are dependent on rainfall and the subsequent pooling of water in which to lay their eggs. Little rainfall, fewer mosquitos......

[RoosterRedux]

A mosquito attempted to bite obama but gave up after about 10 minutes.

He had to get in line behind all the flies...and just got discouraged.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Come to think of it, I just ask my husband if he’s seen very many. We usually have a lot. He said he hadn’t and he’s out everyday in the backyard.

Hmmm

Mosquito population up here in the woods of NH is about one-tenth what it was last year.

Maybe in your part of the woods in NH.

In my part of the woods (Coos County) seems like the normal amount.

And over in Maine during the New England Forest Rally (Richardson Lake area) the deer flies were in a huge quantity.
