They revel sometimes close to my ear before they bite; I despise that!

And besides agreeing with you all the way, do you know that unofficially, the mosquito is known as No. 6 after the 'Big Five' (Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Leopard, Rhino) in South Africa. blessings and hugs Jennifer.

I lost count of the number of "will smith" slaps I have delivered to myself that were intended for those buzzing b*st*rds

Where there's a Will, there's a slap, I always say...

A flying blood bank \\ a nasty winged leecher \\ I’m already itching \\ a gawd-awful creature

Mosquitoes only look for sweetness when they bite, I hear. Try to be more sour, Anselmo. lol. OK, try calamine lotion...
