Are they those wee black buggers? Those things are aweful! They're an invasive Japanese species that came over on a pallet through Newark about 3 years ago. They don't need standing water to breed (mud will do, or even the bit of water in your bathroom sink, as I saw before I moved) and they don't die when the frost comes, they hibernate. I lived around misquitoes my whole life, but when those buggers bite (and do they bite all over), they leave welts.
That blows. I think this is why I stay away from stripes and plaids (even though I love them), I'm so afraid I will screw them up. :P
