@colinpurrington my advice to anyone bothered by mosquitoes is to do everything you can to support wildlife. support dark spaces for bats, create places for frogs, and for birds and dragonflies, et cetera. darkness is important actually, some research has suggested that leaving lights on outside at night increases the feeding time for mosquitoes

@colinpurrington mosquitoes play a crucial role in the functioning of ecosystems. a single bat, for example, can eat up to 4000 mosquitoes in a night. birds, frogs, dragonflies, et cetera rely on mosquito populations for food. traps and poisons take away food from local species (and kill indiscriminately) already driven to extinction through the transformation of space into human centric landscapes. mosquitoes are pollinators too. just some food for thought. #environment #mosquitoes

@kathimmel happy May Day!
