Actually, there two waves of mosquitoes. There are the spring
early-summer bombers. Very big. But very slow. Dangerous only in
large groups. You can see them coming and slap them out of the sky.

They give way to the jet fighters. Very small. Very fast. Very
persistent. Dangerous in small numbers because they will find the one
unexposed place on your skin. They like to get up under my garb and
feast.

Which is why the perfume of choice is mosquito repellent.

Well, you were looking for another practical A&S project, right? :-)
