This year, since it's been unusually wet in central Europe, there is a bumper crop of mosquitoes. Many of them, especially in Poland, were so hospitable as to meet and greet their American visitors. Of course, we in Minnesota are especially proud of the size and ferocity of the mosquitoes produced by our ten thousand lakes, but Agnieska, who has extensive experience of both varieties, insists that Polish mosquitoes are much bigger.
Mary Joy and I came to the conclusion that she was probably right, but that the increase in size led to a decrease in speed, so that Polish mosquitoes were easier to swat. However, this lack of mobility was offset by stealth and numbers
