Actually yes, so following the monsoon season and during the later portions of it, many Vinny's wear full body mesh suits to work outside, but just wearing gloves and a net over the face is more common. Most Vinny's are very immune to Malaria and W Nile isn't heavily present there. The clothing is primary defense unlike USA because over there chemical bug spray is too expensive to use everyday. -

Originally posted by mmQ Think so? There are a lot of mosquitos as it is and none of these seem too popular. Are you thinking that the more of something there is, the more popular it would be as a food? I know people like to eat ants but I also don't think of them as a popular food. I wonder what the most of an insect there is, is. Is it ants?
Yes ants are the most prolific by mass
As for eating, crickets. -

when they come and do pest control at the building where i live the gutter will be clogged with cock-roaches, 40-50 feet of 6 inches deep gutter, clogged full of chocolate brown cock-roaches.
I pulled back a large piece of damp drywall in a basement one time and literally millions of them fell down on the floor in giant clumps, then the clumps spread out right away and covered the entire floor like a moving carpet, climbing up the walls and everything. Told the owner she needs to get a fumigator, not a contractor. -

2023-01-25 at 11:27 PM UTCDecember 2022 water levels break eight historical records
This article explains how in December 2022, eight water level stations across the US observed their highest water levels ever. Four of these stations were located in Washington state, and the other four were located in Alaska and Rhode Island. The article goes on to explain that high tide flooding is frequently associated with extreme weather events, such as the winter storm that hit the Pacific Northwest in December. The article also discusses the importance of NOAA's High Tide Bulletin and the new model they are creating to predict high tide flooding up to a year in advance.
This article is significant to this thread because it highlights how climate change is already having an effect on the US's coastal areas. The article emphasizes the importance of being prepared for extreme weather events and rising sea levels, and the effects that these can have on communities. -

Well it would say that wouldn't it...if it said "Everything's fine folks!" it would be out of a job
Talk about a biased clock.
That's like asking a car mechanic if there's anything wrong with your car. -
