I'm sure I've got it. This mosquito was a thug. I'm probably going to lose my finger at a minimum.

You're just lucky it wasn't a gang of mosquitos.

Heh. One of the things I like about Colorado is the fact that I've only gotten a few mosquito bites since moving out here in 1995.
I'm hyper-allergic to the bites, so it was a ton of fun growing up in KC. The worst bite was, well, on my Donger.

Imagine if mosquitos could form plattoons and attack squadrons. We are lucky there are no General Mosquitos coordinating assaults on Rain man.

You should probably just go ahead and cut off that finger now.

Interesting. I was visiting a friend at her lake lot this last weekend and I saw this wooden object in one of the trees on the property. When I asked what it was she told me that it was a 'bat house'. I said, 'huh?' She proceeded to tell me about how bats eat mosquitoes and so help to reduce their population in the areas where they live. Then she offered up and extra one she had just laying around for me to take home.
You can even buy them off the net or build your own. More on the importance of bat houses |

I wonder if my cats would mind having a pet bat flying around the house.
Does bat sonar interfere with cell phones or anything?

She did tell me that it often takes about 2 years before the bats 'move in'. |

You folks do know that only “female” mosquitoes suck blood. The males are vegetarian.

This raises the critical question of whether bats can read. I'm dubious. Maybe the thing could be set up with some kind of supersonic "I'm a horny hot chick bat and I'm looking for love" automated signal to bring in the local stud bats. They may end up confused and engaging in homosexual acts (NTTAWWT), but that's really their problem. As long as they get hungry every once in a while...
