Target

Plug in, spray, battery operated it makes no difference,

Even hermetically sealed windows seem to be defied by their ability to break in.

In the dead of night the intruder somehow manages to effect entry, and the target is the unsuspecting.

By the time deep quality sleep has set in, the scene is set.

A leg, arm or better still a soft juicy cheek is all that is required.

Sometimes the stalker is stalled by supersensitive hearing, occasionally the lucky get trapped but never-the-less

the nocturnal feast is apparent to the victim.

Yes, a mosquito.

It takes one, just one, to get in, as if by magic and the extra lucky ones get in a mozzie net!


How can something so small get so hungry and how can they bite so many times.

I am sure they take the role of Santa and come down the chimney, the gift (in the form of Christmas, New Year and Birthdays all rolled into one) is me!
