To be fair, this is basically most of northern Canada in May/June as well. Also add black flies to the mix, which take small, anesthetized chunks out of you to make you bleed so that they can lick the blood off your skin… sometimes in clouds so thick, you have no choice but to just let it happen.
People who say mosquitoes are the worst insects have never encountered black flies. I completely avoid going north in May and June because of those fuckers
Horseflies are big and they hurt! Black flies are small and completely silent and hurt only afterwards. They also keep bleeding and bleeding… No bueno.

Wtf… I have had a horsefly bite before which I think is similar and that shit actually hurts. I would take mosquitoes over that any day…
