It’s our(MN) state bird and they’re alive and well. I have the bites all over my legs to prove it.
Normal number here and a few with West Nile.
Very few skeeters here in Southern Oregon, whereas in past years there were tons.
Still have a lot of bees, though.

No shortage of woodland critters/bugs/snakes/birds etc. around my property in Central Missouri.
The skeeter population is way down though, which I attribute to filling the slough hole down by the creek with dirt. They don’t have much opportunity for breeding that’s within flying distance of my house.
Northeast Minnesota checking in...
The mosquito swarms require fog lamps to drive at night.
The swarms are not retreating as reported in this post.
Volunteers have set up emergency windshield washing stations at every milepost for a minimal fee.
Accuweather.com is forecasting very high to severe mosquito activity for tonight (FACT!)
No mosquitoes here in North Texas. Not in August, where the ground is dry and parched, no standing water for those vermin to breed in.
I live in Florida.
Lots of the nasty things want my blood.
Here in Mid-Nebraska we had a very warm March then a cold snap and lots of snow. Killed them off. But we had a lot of rain so we thought we would have a bad skeeter year. Then it got really hot.
So far we have enjoyed a virtually mosquito free summer. We assume it was the cold snap and snow storm after the warm spring which killed them off. But who knows.
They will be back next year, I am sure.
I’m in North Dallas, and ours suck. Literally. We used to have a couple, not too bad. Then my roommate bought a Dynatrap thing and now our backyard is well stocked with the damn things. For every one it might kill, in attracts 3-4more to the yard :(
Zapped four of them with one of these. The other one got away.
Have noticed a lot more geckos around. A family of them moved into the patio at my brother's placed down the road, and one moved into the patio at my apartment.
Geckos munch mosquitos, flies, ants, wasps, and just about any other bug. Love 'em!
eastern PA north of philly near Neshaminy Creek and Delaware River. NO skeeters. None. They don’t normally like me anyway, but I don’t even hear them.
Suburban St.Paul, MN here.
In my backyard mosquitoes are fewer than in years past. But the mosquito control helicopter has been dive bombing the creek and swamp behind the house every other week.
Fewer still means about 10 bites/hour.
We have plenty mosquito’s, flea’s, roaches, palmetto bugs, etc. in northeast Florida.
If you seem to be suffering from a deficit of these critters, drop us a line. I’m sure we can hook you up.
Hardly any firelies either which was a bummer. I like fireflies.
Plenty of deer flies though. That's those flies that buzz around your head. I hate those flies and wish they would all die.
I’m in southeast Texas, the mosquito population is a little “too much”, but it’s normal around here.
It is not wise to talk about such things. We don’t want mosquitoes put on an endangered species list and get fined or go to jail for slapping at them.
Low to nothing outside Houston.
San Antonio- I noticed a very large reduction in the mosquitoes in my area the last couple months and I think it’s due to the hot weather. They were around a whole lot more before the cold weather ended.
No mosquitoes in Dameron Valley, UT in 13 years. It is pretty dry here in high desert country.
