Bucky, The mosquito is Minnesota's state bird. However, you have to have rain for them to lay their eggs and hatch. We have had some rain earlier this summer, but the time when the would be laying their eggs, etc., is when it was also dry.
I have to tell you that when our kids go to the lake they say there have been very few mosquitos. We don't go out in the evening so we can't judge for ourselves, however, the grandkids haven't been all bit up this summer.
Probably next summer it won't quit raining!! Such a hard year it has been in the world weatherwise this year. Irish
