Nice, Frank. Another example demonstrating real insight and out of the box thought. Really glad to see these nasty little blood-suckers in a positive light. Yup. Mmm Hmmm. Just like democrats.

Wait, does this mean Ticks are better than mosquitos?

The scorpion is also an underrated insect (if you pull two of its legs off). Smart, cuddly, and always ready to give that stupid frog exactly what he deserves.

I can't wait to hear how great chiggers are. All the benefits of mosquitos without the distracting sound or the annoying diseases.

I do enjoy scratching an itch, but I want the itch to go away when I scratch it. If it doesn’t, I become annoyed. So I’m not convinced that my dislike for mosquito bites is disingenuous. I think it’s sincere. But you’re right about blood. It’s gross and we should all have less of it.

Yup. If you wanted controversy, you picked a good one. Even I am cringing. Too many memories of scratching those itches from when I lived in the tropics. Ugh.
