Anyone else come home with a bunch of big skeeter bites on their legs!?  

I'm guessing I got them when I was sitting at the pool late at night with a few others chatting. I put some bug spray on but it must have not been enough or was too late.

Adam-I have quite a few...in fact a couple of them are STILL welts & itchy.  They seemed to prefer me over Frank, which is odd cause up here, I never get bit, but Frank is a virtual smorgasbord to them.  So, I guess like everything else down south - ladies before gentlemen...lol 
Did i mention that they resemble small helicopters?

Well there ya go! Bug spray is like crack to skeeters! LOL
Light colored clothing, and garlic breath will keep them away...and anything with citronella...
Skeeters around here will carry the cats off if ya don't keep an eye on them!
