Hot as hell, but not a mozzy in sight? (infosec.pub)

I sleep with the windows open and haven't heard a buzz or woken up with bites at all.

Am I the only one noticing this?

But the wasps have appeared in the last couple of days.

I had a mozzy dancing on my phone screen while I was trying to watch pornhub in the dark

Maybe it was dyslexic and misread incest as insect

And there was me thinking I'd just done a good job controlling water sources in the garden...

If you get frogs and dragonflies, that's a win

[–] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I get dragonflies, but not frogs.

In seriousness, I have just try to spot when I've left something in the garden that gathered water, to stop mozzies.
One day, I might try doing a pond, and managing it properly.

a nice pond at the back of the garden is the dream

Do we even have mozzies? I thought we just had midges in this country. Maybe I don't know what a mozzy is.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

you guys don't get mosquitos up north?

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

Didn't know they existed in the UK

I had one in my room yesterday but that's about it
