Several dragonflies are crisscrossing my back yard in flight, presumably eating mosquitoes right out of the sky as I sit outside in an Adirondack chair this evening. 😊

Beta testing an indoor mosquito trap. I usually make these with plastic soda bottles but eyed a glass lamp base at the hardware store and thought I'd give it a try. Baited with a cheesecloth-covered jar of honey, rose water, and a few drops of orange liquor. And a cheesecloth-covered chunk of dark chocolate from Venezuela. It targets mosquitoes that are looking for a nectar meal. Useful for trapping annoying mosquitoes that somehow got inside. #nectar #mosquitoes

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦟🧪 Researchers in #Florida recruited 119 volunteers in #Miami and measured which #mosquitoes lingered near each person’s arm in a scent chamber.

Using gas #chromatography and skin-swab #DNA sequencing, they compared air #chemistry and the #microbes living on volunteers’ forearms. The finding is that each of three mosquito species favors its own blend of human scents, and that the most enticing people for one species are not necessarily appealing to another.

Some good news: I think I've succeeded in shutting down Pest Proof, a company selling a scam mosquito trap filled with yeast, sugar, baking soda, and citric acid. Its e-commerce site started displaying, "Site Inactive", today, at least. Over the past several weeks I've sent complaints to all 50 states, the EPA, the FTC, and to regulatory authorities in Canada and the UK where it was also being marketed. Someone listened, it seems. Traps like this kill innocent insects, not mosquitoes. #mosquitoes #insects

“I Hate Texas” by Marissa Payne

I hate Texas
I hate the heat
I hate the traffic
I hate the Cowboys

I hate the mosquitoes
I hate the hogs
And I hate how we have all the stray dogs

I hate the politics
I hate the patrol
I sometimes even hate the police
But I hate the hate most of all

I love Texas
It is my home
But I hate how Texas makes me hate Texas
Most of all

Here's another scam I'm trying to get removed from the market: the BiteShield Mosquito Trap. It's filled with yeast and sugar and is supposed to draw in and trap mosquitoes. Currently for sale in the USA, the UK, and Canada. Owner information is hidden behind a Wyoming LLC but I'm pretty sure it's the same scammer who runs Tougher Than Tom, a company based in Austin, Texas. #mosquitoes
