WILDERNESS SURVIVAL GUIDE

   Have you ever heard of a black fly or a mosquito?Im pretty sure you've been bitten before too.Well if you have,then you should probably know a little bit more about them.Black flies are little flies with a humpback shape and breed in moving water.They ususally appear between mid-May and mid-June.Black flies like to hang out in the woods,but don't like open ares or areas with a lot of breeze.If you want to avoid these blood sucking beasts,then I suggest that you take these precautions;you should obviously cover any exposed skin or use insect repellent.Also,you should wear light colored clothing because they are attracted to dark colored clothing.

   Next are the flying vampires that people call mosquitoes.Mosquitoes are closely related to black flies,but they are also somewhat different.You should also be mindful/cautious where you go because mosquitoes breed in standing water and love tall grass.They are active between dusk and dawn.Mosquitoes are mostly attracted to heat sources.Just like black flies,mosqitoes like to bite people too,especially if you sweat a lot,and if you do sweat a lot,I suggest that you take these other precautions;try to wear long pants and shirts or mosquito netting or get some insect repellent.Also,avoid keeping your grass too long(cut it once in a while)and empty pools,planters,and lawn/deck furniture that collect standing water.YOU WERE WARNED!
