I think I speak for my entire species
when I say that I do not like being bitten by mosquitoes. I prefer
not to be infected with malaria, chikungunya, or lymphatic
filariasis. I don't even much enjoy little itchy bumps on the tender
flesh of my ankles or, most infuriating, the elbows. On the other
hand, I am a big fan of green tree frogs and anoles, who in turn are
big fans of mosquitoes as menu items. Fair enough, I guess. Plus,
when you spray for mosquitoes you also kill the fireflies. That's a
metaphor for something, I think.

If you eat enough garlic, they leave you alone. Tiny vampires, they are indeed.
