Much sooner than that even. Microbe, Eggs, Larve, Six and Eight Legged critters, and alas, winged ones. Soon to join the ranks of the Two and Four legged kind. All swimming, inching, crawling, and buzzing on their north bound quest into cooler and freezing climates, unaffected. So strange a behavior of such critters dont you think ? Think of them more like small troops of infantry, calvery, sea and airborne. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz <swat>

Told you, skeeters uncommonly not in shortage right now in these here parts. Funny how there have been so few this year, which was unussual for them bastards. Now they are all over the place, bites all over for the past few days.

Many of those little things do not last long here in the Frozen North ©. Up here there is a phenomenon the natives here call "Winter" or "The Coming of the White Glop." During the several month period this white glop covers the area and when everything is frozen hard as a brick, these little critters don't do very much. Except freeze.
