Seriously....
They can have all the blood they want. Just stop leaving itchy bumps and stop flying into my ears

TIL. That's nuts to me that opening windows is way more common in Europe but they're just fine with bugs coming and going in their houses.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I suspect, from past conversations, that some of it is that when you design a house to be used without screens, then retrofitting screens isn't optimal. Like, say you have a window of X area. The screen blocks, say, 30% of light that would go through. If you then put a screen on the window, then you have only 70% of the light that you normally would. That may well be darker than you want. If you design a house with the intention of screen use and want light from windows, you're going to make the windows 130% the area you normally would.
That creates some inertia.

The artist, Richard Klos, appears to be Dutch. One convention that I understand to be common in the US and uncommon in Europe is the use of screens on windows. The US used to have some serious tropical disease problems that didn't exist in Europe, and window screens became a norm in the US to deal with that.
By the 1950s, malaria was largely eradicated in the United States due to the widespread use of window screens.[3] Today many houses in Australia, the United States and Canada have screens on operable windows.[4]
While mosquito-borne malaria isn't a problem in Europe today, screens will still work to keep mosquitoes-as-an-annoyance out.

That's probably sufficient, but if you want a second line of defense or don't want window screens, in some places, like Africa, that still have tropical disease issues, use of mosquito netting over beds is used.
As a citizen of EU living in absolute peace behind bug screens on every window I can assure you that the better informed parts of this continent are able to apply working solutions.

Don't know what you are rambling about. I have very normal windows in my European home and installed bug screens without any problems or disadvantages. There's no trouble with light or air.

The Unexpected Reason Behind Why Europeans Don't Have Window Screens
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to share this post about why there are no window screens in Europe. Growing up, I was always fascinated with the difference between American and European homes. In America, I was used to having window screens to keep out bugs and debris, but when my family took a trip to ... Read more

hmm yeah that was telegraphing the media that it was parodying. maybe this is too. maybe there's a particular boomer comic that has ridiculous animals with tits and I'm just not getting the reference

The blood suckers are all females. Males don't bother humans.

Blood feeds blood. Blood calls blood. Blood is, and blood was, and blood shall ever be.

Try putting a spoon under hot water and pressing it on a recent bite, idk how it works but it's incredibly effective.
-
Interesting choice to give them boobs. Not that the average reader cares that its only female mosquitoes that bite.
Where do you think they keep the blood

Pee is stored in the balls, and... blood is stored in the boobs?

Please don’t. I’ll tell you.
Only female mosquitoes bite and drink blood for getting the protein they need for producing eggs.
Hence the boobs under the skin tight sweaters.it's okay, I was actually going to do the alcoholic existential crisis anyway
but now I have the true mosquitoe tiddy lore in addition to that so it's a win/win/win -
Yes.
Also try tiger balm for the bites or if you are at home a hot compress.
Cortisone cream is excellent stuff for bug bites.
