What is the saying
- if only they sucked fat instead of blood, I would be so skinny now


Are there any Countries that don't have mosquitoes? I know that Singapore don't have flies .....or they didn't

we don't them very much. the municipality is taking care about that, since the panics of west niles fever.

I don't know much about Iceland. But I'll bet Alaska has them in the summer. It is a big state and parts of it are warmer than others. Like I know anything, having never been there. But in the summer, the sun can be out 24 hours a day for a time! The little suckers will be out here in western Washington as soon as we have a warm spell and standing water for them to breed in.

Wrong, Alaska has swarms of skeeters in the summer time that can kill a moose by draining all its blood. Our winters often hit minus 30 F and we have skeeters as soon as we have two weeks above 50 degrees F. Our joke is the state bird of MN and ND is the mosquito and you can use a shotgun to kill the big ones.

The places free of them are deserts with no water and high up in mountain ranges. I doubt Antarctica has them too.

I had lots of mosquito contact while backpacking in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California when much younger than today. But I think you must be right that the higher the elevation, the fewer mosquitoes. We were up a little in elevation but hiking more between the mountains than up at the tops of them.
