Golly, how awful, did you convince him in the end?No. But, eventually he just let it go, or so I think, anyhoo.
Perhaps he finally believed her!
I hope so.

I awoke this morning to discover that in spite of wearing pyjamas, some enterprising mosquito or mosquitoes had managed to find their way inside the bottoms overnight in order to give me two bites on one bum cheek, and one on the other, plus a further one on the back of my thigh about 6 inches down from the right cheek.
Now I can't help wondering why they didn't just bite me on the hand, my face, or even my arm if the sleeve slid up a bit in my sleep, but for some reason they decided to bite me on the arse was more amusing, hence I have been scratching all day, and have four huge red bumps, three of which are on my bum cheeks, (I shall leave this horrific vision to your imaginations), suffice to say it isn't pleasant, and I reckon one of the fly / mosquito killing lights I wrote about recently on a hub of mine are now top of my Christmas list.yo misty...them mosquitoes ain't no fools...

LOL, well clearly they are having fun at least, even if I am scratching in all sorts of unattractive places

And if you are anything like me you will look like you have measles or chicken pox, in other words, covered in alarming red bumps that itch like hell!! Am I right???
You know what? When we were kids and out in the woods and got bit like crazy, Mom could give us a shallow bath in baking soda water, and the bites would be gone the next day. I'm not sure why. But it worked. An old home remedy I just remembered.

I'm grateful it's snow time here!! You are lucky, we only get snow about every 7 or 8 years, and then for 24 hours if we are lucky. Right now it is only wet and windy, so I reckon they come in for a warm, sheltered place to sleep and a tasty snack, i.e. my arse!!!
Not sure about Denno66's comments...
But, one way to stop them biting your arse (other than some really imaginative methods) is to drink lemonade that you make from scratch. Mosquitos do not like acidic blood. I usually drink 1 - 2 cups everyday during the wet months here, and never a bite. The day I miss one cup...and I'll be eaten alive! Also, if you eat a lot of bananas, the potassium will attract them to you.Hey I did not know that.It is really useful information.The place I come from is really infested with mosquito all round the year.

I itched like absolute crazy while I was away. I didn't really sleep most nights coz I was so itchy. That probably made it worse. I couldn't sleep in my bed (under the mosquito net) so I would sleep during the day in a hammock, unprotected and probably got bitten even more. I had circles and horseshoe shaped patterns of bites where a mosquito had clearly just been making its way round!!
Yes, I think alarming is definitely the word I would use to describe the state of my legs!! - 96

I have to admit if I was reincarnated as a tiny, insignificant blood sucking pest I would probably live my little life to its fullest and bite every higher being in the worst places I could possibly reach.
I'm bitter like thatI think you may be mistaken about the critter's that bit you.
Not saying it was not mosquitoes that bit you on your bum.
This sounds more like Red Bugs, what we call here in the south,"Chiggers".
You can get red bugs "chiggers" just by walking through tall grass or walking in the woods.
They love to reach those let's say, "Private areas".
Why? I don't know, but they do itch for days.
The best treatment I have found is to coat the bite area with clear fingernail polish. This smothers the bugs so they can't get any air, or so I am told. However, it really does help stop the itching.
FYI: Clear fingernail polish works on poison oak and ivy too.Mosquitoes are a pain in the ass.
Insects have a field day with me when I’m on holiday and living in Scotland we also have the Midges, who are apparently immune to any insect repellent.
