[quote=Anonymous]I’m the poster who mentioned Montana - I also lived a decade in Arizona and no mosquitoes there either. But I’m back in Massachusetts now where I grew up 50 years ago - in those days we got chewed up by mosquitoes every time we went outdoors but these days not so much. A lot of folks spray for mosquitoes but also we have drier conditions than we used to when I was a kid. That said we have had some deaths in recents years from equine encephalitis spread by mosquito bite and every year we have West Nile cases as well so we definitely have mosquitoes just not as many as we used to. The other night I was in the yard - ours is very natural, no pesticides and plenty of wet places - and I noticed a couple of dozen lightning bugs flickering on and off and it reminded me how in my childhood we would walk out into the yard at night and see hundreds of them. It’s sad what we’re doing to the biodiversity of the planet. [/quote]
