Madness - clearly the mosquito should be number one (which spiders eat).
Yes, but I got a tick once (when survival camping) vs thousands of bites from mosquitoes.
We don't have mosquitoes in the UK
I don't understand, am I missing the joke? We have 36 species in the UK, including the invasive tiger mosquito and the London Underground mosquito.
seen so many wasps lately thought i was going mad! also tons of thrips/thunder flies
Could they not
Yeah they seem to be everywhere at the moment.
Unfortunately. I was hoping they'd die out.
I’ve been finding myself more ambivalent towards wasps lately, and aside from vaguely flailing my arms at them I’ve been mostly leaving them alone. Oddly, dying ones keep appearing in my loft - starting to wonder if they’re getting poisoned somewhere nearby, but why they choose to die in my loft is another question.
More for me to kill.
