    i find that indoor mosquitos don't tend to bite for some reason. i killed one in the bathroom the other day. insects seem to be living longer into winter than previously

    Dood you are about 2 days behind on news. Not so bad I guess. About 1500 dogs have been cloned on behalf of dead-dog owners who wanted that animal again, and payed the money. I am not particularly interested that Tom Brady is one among them.

    This niche market suffers no institutional opposition. In a few years it will triple (ish) because many rich people wish their dead dogs were not. Say why readers should care, or stand aside.

    Human Enterprise juggernaut is wide and deep. We have already enough topics to attend to.

    Unlikely. Male mosquitoes stay at water bodies to boink (oh sorry, fertilize) females that have gone further to collect blood.

    Could be males. They have fuzzy antenna.

    Could be plenty of useable water bodies nearby.

    when i'm outdoors, i'm a mosquito magnet. indoors, they are more like flies, buzzing around the windows.
    i'm sure they bite from time to time, but it's not a constant attack, like outdoors
