Madness - clearly the mosquito should be number one (which spiders eat).

Yes, but I got a tick once (when survival camping) vs thousands of bites from mosquitoes.

We don't have mosquitoes in the UK

I don't understand, am I missing the joke? We have 36 species in the UK, including the invasive tiger mosquito and the London Underground mosquito.

I’ve been finding myself more ambivalent towards wasps lately, and aside from vaguely flailing my arms at them I’ve been mostly leaving them alone. Oddly, dying ones keep appearing in my loft - starting to wonder if they’re getting poisoned somewhere nearby, but why they choose to die in my loft is another question.

Unfortunately. I was hoping they'd die out.

More for me to kill.
