Flying insects seem to everywhere in New England. The No-See-Ums and May Flies in the spring make being outdoors in the daytime unbearable at times. Outdoor evenings in the summertime are cut short at dusk as the mosquitoes emerge and start to carry you away. Horse flies and deer ticks also disrupt a pleasant summer day.
In Florida it seems that have so may flying insects that one must build a screen house over you pool if you want to enjoy it. There are two places that we have been to that seem to have less bugs than where we lived in New England, the Great Smoky Mountain and here in Southern California. In both places one could go hiking in the forests and not get eaten alive by the insects.
We have asked our neighbors about any insects that may appear during the summer months that might impact spending evening outdoors on our patio by the pond. There response was that they are no insects like we have back in New England! We are starting to like this place more & more each day!
But there are insects here, just none that have bothered us yet. You can check out the bugs of Southern California here.
