Bug Season
Some talk about NH as only having three seasons. Mud season, bug season and winter. Bug season has officially begun. All sorts of critters flying around that weren't here last week. No welts yet to report, but sitting out on the boat, watching the sun set is going to get a bit more difficult, real soon now.

Oh yeah!
I played a round of golf this morning into the early afternoon, and saw only a few black flies. Wife said she could get out of work early, and wanted to play, so we went back out a little after four, and there many black flies, and obviously they either didn't like us and wanted to get a piece of us, or thought we were one tasty duo, and wanted to get a piece of us, or perhaps they just wanted to get a piece of us !

"First the mandibles,
“First the mandibles, with saw-toothed distalends, function as a pair of scissors in snipping the skin. The slightly shorter maxillae, provided with marginal reversed hooklets having toothed terminations, tear open the wound until it is large enough to allow the labrumepipharynx to reach the level of peripheral capillaries. Thus, in the removal of microfilariae of Onchocera from the host, the maxillae are believed to liberate from the infused skin the embryos, which are then trapped by the terminal spines of the labrumepipharynx and hypopharynx.” (Gibbins, 1938)
