Last week on Gabbro: Really massive swarms of skeeters just after sunset that were pretty tenacious for a half hour or so. Pretty decent after that. Nothing that the usual arsenal of head net, permethrin, picaridin, and DEET can't solve.

I got back out about a week ago. I didn't notice anything unusually bad...Just swarms at sunset, tapering off as it gets later.
