No, they aren't alien invaders. I pretty much have to shower in repellant in order to avoid being sucked dry by these blood thirsty mosquitoes. Unfortunately Off for Outdoorsmen not only repels the mosquitoes but butterflies and dragonflies as well. Needless to say I was thrilled with my shots yesterday. By the way, that picture is about scaled to life. When they swarm like that, they really do sound like a squadron of fighter planes. Its advisable to cover your nose when passing through a swarm like this. I'm sure you can figure out why.
The only thing worse than hearing a mosquito buzzing around your head is hearing a mosquito buzzing around your head and then suddenly not hearing it anymore. That drives me nuts! When they are buzzing at least I know they are still flying. They don't buzz when they are feeding.
Ugh! Just looking at that picture makes me itchy.

Makes me itchy too!! I had to soak myself in insect repellant in Borneo. It was good to get out of the jungle and put on my Chanel again!! Great photos on your journal! Jeannette.
Alfred Hitchcock would have loved that photo!
Thanks for the great journal. I always look for your pictures before I answer my letters. I hope you keep it up. Molly

The bloodsucking hoard!
I hear you about the OFF. It's one of things I never mention. I get bit all to pieces when I shoot. A lot of times I can't really swat much. I've got a bite on my ear lobe from this morning.
This picture reminds me of those Off commercials from many many years ago where they had a man inside a tent full of mosquitos.....ewwww.
