    Very interesting…can they reach down that far??? I mean that distance looks almost a full body length from this perspective.

      Ive watched these mosquitos. They land on top of the body hair, and then quickly climb down to the skin level, maybe taking a split second to do so.

      Sometimes that’s enough of a delay to detect and swat them.

      Bugs, in general, can they bite you anywhere?

      Basically yes, depending on the clothes you’re wearing, the position you’re in, the climate/biome you live in.

      Sand fleas, at a nudist beach.

      A person sleeping nude in an area that’s got lots of bugs, etc.

      You’ve decided to go camping, where bugs exist.

      …etc.

      Let me just tell you that bed bugs fucking suck.

      Like, figuratively and literally.

      Ain’t everybody got enough money to live in a decently maintained residence or building or… county or city.
