Midges
 

:bored: Most irritating insects ever. I dunno if they exist in England or elsewhere in the world, but they're generally out by leafy areas or out in the countryside in Scotland. My friend was covered in bites all over his body after he went hill walking at the weekend, just reminded me of how much I hate them. Anyone have any horror stories?

Midges have to be the most pointless type of insect ever. I used to live near the countryside, so I grew up running into the shadows with my arms spinning :joker:

Wtf is a midge?

I hate them too, I get bitten loads whilst working in the garden :( Worst was when my hand swelled up had to rub on antihistamine cream it was awful.

Thanks Chewy. Are they like gnats?

They're a pestilence, there's nothing more frustrating than having to pass through a cloud of midges knowing that you're going to be eaten alive :bored:

Kinda like mosquitos, blood sucking creatures. And don't get me started on ticks either :bored:

Oh I hate them so much

Okay I don't think I've ever encountered a midge :joker:

I didn't realise they sucked blood :o I just thought how flaming irritating they are.

I'm not totally certain but I'm pretty sure they do!

Hate them, there is loads around here too

My mum found a tick on her bum the other morning in the shower :joker: she reckons it must have been from when she was sunbathing in the garden. ****ing parasites!!!

In England, people blame mosquitoes when its almost always these guys.

Bleugh

They always ruin a good garden party/barbecue too the little ****s, everyones always sitting having a great then someone will say the "the midges are out, time to go inside"

They sit and hover under a tree in our garden like a little menacing cloud of doom. Arseholes.
