yes.......it's usually good for a laugh when it happens to someone else........the look on their face.  Classic.

Of course, but not today.  Last night, my neighbors were abducted right in the middle of a game of gin rummy  We were just having such great fun when the beam of light shown through our side window.  It fell on Bob and Janet.  Oh, the surprised look on their faces! In a flash, they were sucked into the light and off into the wide black yonder.\nWe waited a few minutes and then had to re-deal.

This is as Serious Question, especially when tackling West Nile Virus, Malaria, Dengue, all vector borne disease.\n\nGoogle this on the web, there was a recent report about Rain and Butterflies (Slightly larger than bugs) They are also frighten of rain, as it is dangerous to them, the relative size of the water droplet, would harm them.\n\nBugs, usually try to hid from the rain, going into overhangs,  under large leaves, seeking shelter when they can find it.\n\nGood Question.  Next point, ever wonder where Flies goes after dark.

Here is a story I told someone on here recently that wanted a laugh....it usually cracks people up. It is totally true...\n\n\nOne day, my brothers and sister in law were driving down a country road. They were behind a pick up truck for quite a while and noticed he was driving pretty slow. It was really windy out that day, so they just assumed it was an old man driving the truck and he was scared to drive fast in the wind, lol....\n\nanyway, all of the sudden a big gust of wind came and tore the plastic bed liner out of the back of the pickup truck. It goes flying up in the air and was spinning in circles all over the place. They slowed down and just watched it flying in mid air for a good 30 seconds. All of the sudden it went flying toward the ground and ended up hitting this guy on his lawn mower in the back of the head! The poor guy was just out mowing his lawn and all of the sudden something hits him from nowhere! Can you imagine what he was thinking? \n\nJust picturing the whole thing happening is hilarious.\n\nOh, by the way....long story short, the guy was ok.

Mosquitoes! They add to misery, subtract from pleasure, divide your attention and multiply quickly

Challenges are placed in our paths...mosquitoes probably fall in the same category

When I was standing on a country road (waiting at an unmarked bus stop) in Italy and twelve men pulled their cars over (not all at once), thinking I was a prostitute.  They waved their wallets at me and tried to get me into their cars.  I was so upset that I was in tears, crying beside the road.  Suddenly I heard a sound, and I looked down to see two lizards running across the sidewalk.  Before I could do anything one of lizards crawled up onto my foot and started crawling up my leg.  I could feel it against the skin on my calf, so I lifted my leg and tried to shake it off, but the damn thing just wouldn't come off.  All I could think was, "Everyone thinks I'm a prostitute and I'm going to have to take off my pants to get this lizard out of them!"  So I was standing beside the road, totally crying, shaking one leg around in the air.  All the cars that were driving by were honking their horns and hollering at me... it was soooo embarassing!  \n\nAfterword:\n\nEventually the lizard got scared and crawled off my leg- it didn't get past my knee and I didn't have to take off my pants.  A few minutes later the bus came.  I swear I didn't look like a prostitute- I was wearing a sweater and dress pants!  And I had a suitcase!

No did it happen to u?

YES!  When I was about 12 years old.  My whole family saw it.  We were all outside and it came from across the road, flew up our driveway and hovered off to the side of our house.  My Mom was screaming because it was going so fast she thought it was going to crash into our house.  It was level with our roof, so it was pretty low to the ground.  It was so bright it was blinding and made absolutely no sound.  We were scared to death.  It just stayed there for a minute and then shot up in the air and disappeared.  We called the police and they even came out to the scene but didnt really perform an investigation. They did say there were several other reports the same night.  One of the weirdest things that has ever happened to me.  I dont care if people believe me or not, I know what I saw and so did my family, it was NOT an airplane or helicopter.

I did once. I was on vacation in Florida,the bouncer driving me home was arrested for D.U.I,and I was hand-cuffed to the Blazer door til they figured out what to do with me. They wouldn't uncuff me cause I'd take off walking so I pulled up the skirt,dropped the panty hose & let it fly right on the side of the highway. Could'nt hold it any longer & I knew I'd never see these people again. Terrible huh? True though.

YES! it happened to my little girl. The doctor told me that the outbreak would be very mild and it was about 2 or three small spots that looked like bug bites.

mosquito coil or maybe mosquito killer

I did after Hurricane Wilma. We had no electricity so our windows had to be open and the mosquitoes were driving me crazy. Nothing bad happened, but I wouldn't recommend burning the candle in an enclosed space.

all over. this is a good site for info \nIt seemed to have started in New York. but the Southern states do have it worse becasue they do not have the harsh winters to kill of the Mosquitoes\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnile/surv&control.htm

If only they would die!!\n\nHOWEVER...\n\nNot only can some of the mosquito eggs survive the winter, it is shown that even some adult females (the biting ones) may survive as well.  Granted, most do not.  \n\nEggs are by far the hardiest.  There have been cases where eggs have survived up to 7 years before hatching (in areas where a hard freeze occurs in the winter).  Although the likelihood of an egg surviving decreases exponentially each year, some always seem to make it.  This also explains why the number of mosquitoes can be so overwhelming after a region gets a great deal of precipitation (causing areas that normally don't have standing water during rainy seasons to have standing water).  Not only are you dealing with the mosquitoes from the current year, but all of the eggs hatching from the previous years that did not have enough water for them to "hatch".\n\nThe physiology and mechanism of their surviving the freezing temperatures is beyond me!\n\nI hope this has helped explain at least part of your question.

I havent had an encounter.... but I have seen one. It was hanging over a highway at night.We drove directly under it, and it was no higher up than a treetop. The object was triangular in shape, with rounded corners. There were colored lights along the inside of the triangle. It made no noise as we went under it, and on the way home, my friend said it wasnt there. For those of you that answered my question about ufo's, whether you believe me or not, I was not on anything, and wasnt drinking. I know what I saw.
