That picture on the bottom left looks quite nice. I hope they enjoyed the trip to the lake

Hope there weren't any mosquitos.

Spoiler: there were. Though in Russia and generally northern Eurasia mosquitos aren't that much of a problem. Ticks are worse.

I hate mosquitos with a passion but ticks are worse imo.

Alaska stay winning

There aren’t ticks in Alaska?

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

Not that I've seen in around 30 or so years and not that I've heard from anyone with 70+ years of life experience up here.

When I was out in south dakota I got bit by a tick for the first time in over 20 years. Fuck those things.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

Well you're always welcome to live tick-free in my neck of the woods, if you don't mind the clouds of mosquitos.

How do mosquitos survive in such a cold place?

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

I think some of them actually hibernate or some shit.

There aren't ticks yet. Just wait until climate change allows them to migrate north 🙃
