They are sensitive to CO2 concentrations, so when they sense you are near their bush, they drop into your collar. oh gee... and here all this time they could sense when they were near your bush... <vvvvbg>

I had what some people call the Asian version of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (scrub typhus) once and it was absolutely no fun. No fun at all.

ManyMoose, I have found that puffing madly on a lit cigarette keeps many bugs away, especially wasps and bees and yellowjackets. Those are about the only occasions when my militantly nonsmoking friends appreciate having me around and blowing smoke. I do not react to ALL bugs as I do to waterbugs and cockroaches. Some bugs I find utterly fascinating and can, with rapt attention, watch them for hours. What's more, I think snakes are beautiful but wisely keep my distance from the known poisonous varieties. - Holly
