Along with the bumblebees.
Northeast United States here
Not just Mosquitoes, but there were very few Junebugs this year.
Usually June/ early July I put my fish on a Junebug diet, they love the extra protein, but this year there were none throughout June and a just a few in the 1st couple of days in July.
The Cicadas are coming out normally
Zika is a disease transmitted by persons who already got it through living in third world countries. It IS transmittable. In other words, illegal/transplanted aliens who have never gone through REQUIRED health checks, as per immigration laws. immigration system is Not broke, just ignored by our government.
Mosquitos need standing water to hatch. In our little corner of Wisconsin, we have had little rain, so therefore little standing water.. We have fewer mosquitos than some years. We just took a vacation to northern WI where they have had copious amounts of rain. Their mosquitos were out in full force!
Have a variety of plants and leave the outdoor lights off.
They haven’t left the Bayou City as far as I can tell.
Never see many here in central CA. Mosquito’s and tornado’s are things I don’t miss about Kansas.
I am looking for the bumble bees and butterflies I don’t see much of them in NEPA. We have been bitten up by mosquitoes though.
Central TX has very few mosquitoes, but we are making up for it with an abundance of wasps at the present time. They are trying to build nests everywhere, so we are making our rounds with the spray because a family member is allergic to their stings.
That is a good question. My house has the development storm retention pond behind it and prior summers I’ve had lots of mosquito bites. I had a couple in the spring but none since.
And, in years past lots of bullfrogs. They are gone too.
Their all right here in southwest Michigan.
They are alive and well in Southern IL.
Any day now I expect to see notices posted that they are spraying for mosquitoes, and a ghostly white mist will travel about 20 feet from the dispensing truck and do nothing at all to dispel the hordes of skeeters here. The Accuweather report for mosquitoes here is "10. Extreme." Haha. My neighbors and I didn't need Accuweather to tell us that. Ten minutes out in the garden or on the porch gives you that.
I imagine AfterBite stock is doing well here.
Where have all the skeeters gone,
And where are all the fleas?
Where’s the little no-see-um,
To bite a Hercules?
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.
