Insects

I've seen more than the usual number of insects this year. I've been bitten by midges, mozzies, gnats, horseflies, whether I've been here or when we were away places.

I hate insects at the best of times but the icing on the cake was the other day when I got a tickle in my ear. I rammed my finger in to scratch it (as you do) and it was OK for a few seconds, then the itch started again and I was sure I could hear footsteps in there, or at least movement. More finger ramming couldn't locate the source so I got my mrs to investigate. She told me I was mad and an insect wouldn't "live in my ear" and it was "just my ears popping". Tilting my head to one side and banging the other side of my head made an insect that looked like a flying ant fall out. "Oh yes. It was an insect." she said, helpfully. Ugh. :sick:

On the other hand I haven't seen one wasp all Summer. I wonder if the 2 are related?

I've definitely seen more insects too this year, in the whole South East area. Lots more bug-splatter on my windscreen.

Wasps have been showing only recently too, but not in the numbers usually seen at this time of year,,,, that bit is great 😊

I wonder if it’s laid any eggs in your ear?
