I've lived for the past decade in Minnesota. One of the state's well known nicknames is "The land of 10,000 lakes." But the locals enjoy adding, "... and ten billion mosquitoes."  I've gone camping out here and regretted it. Mosquitoes and horseflies during only two days left my body covered in more than 70 bloody itchy mounds.

That was bad enough. But who knew that bloodsucking pests could grow so huge?!
