why did nature create midges?
 

Substitute your deity for nature if appropriate.

But the question still stands. What purpose beyond driving me nuts with huge itchy lumps do these blood sucking pests serve? Why did your god permit them to evolve and short of dumping 20,000 ton of DDT on my home. What can be done to persuade the little sods to go and eat somebody else.

That time of year again

Avon skin so soft. It's oil based (and flammable) so the midges melt as soon as they land on your skin. Still annoying but no likey no bitey

LOL, I read that as why did nature create midgets? A bit harsh, I thought. Midges, on the other hand, are here to make jocks feel all tough and manly.
