I’ve posted this before, a long time ago. This is of bulldogs, or horse flies chasing me in the truck. I am moving at 40kph or 25mph in the picture. Look in the rear view mirror to see the mob following.
In a strange coincedence, I watched a documentary about a place called “The Eye Of The Sahara” that they claim is the worst place in the world for flying insects.
That show just started up here on TV last night....I tried watching as the Gold Hunters season has finished. I stopped watching after about 15 minutes.
I couldn't take the chat.....it drove me nuts. Those guys are what we call Bogans here.

I'm not sure about Europe or Asia but around here it's apparently perfumed dryer sheets. I haven't tried it myself.

But flying insects could be grasshoppers or houseflies. I’m talking about the kind that bite.
just a few
March flies
house fly
blow fly
they all bite

Try fishing on a jetty in the Houston
area. I grew up in Minnesota. I would
categorize the discomfort as equal.
Must be what it looks like up Whoopie’s skirt
Not sold in Australia, no guns allowed. Here’s an idea.
Some flies get really tired over here in New Zealand.
I captured a photo of one giving another one a push-start a year or so back...

Northern bugs?
Pffffft!
Come to Florida.
Bugs thrive in this humid, steamy place that never really gets cold.
We've recently had an uptick in numbers of grasshoppers that are up to 8 inches long.
Most are 4-6" but I've seen some 8 inchers.
How big are they up there?
I remember big ones being about 3 inches in Ohio.

I should have been more specific: northern BITING bugs. There, I fixed it.

cicadas (?) locusts (?)
once ever 17 years, hatch breed & die
I remember them on one of my race trips down south Atlanta (? IIRC) way
when they were "blooming/hatching", I was staying in an RV park
my car & my truck/trailer was 'refer white' they swarmed/covered
& 10-20 min's later were all gone
the big *** beetles, flat wide big look like 'cockroaches sort of'
all over the south east, suck royally too
every campground, truck stop, rest stop & their shower
had them all over in hot seasons, humid as hell too
chiggers (lil' bitting bastards) in the grass suck *** too
no thanks

Ive seen plenty of those so called palmetto bugs down there. Especially in the keys. To me they are just big creepy cockroaches

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Every house in FL has a few palmetto bugs.....
...but it's not like we have roaches, or anything.
Yuck, that would be nasty.
