The one about the mossies

I hate them mossies. I used to be able to hear them circling around my ears and clapping them dead would be an easy feat. These days, they seem to have evolved. Very stealth. I don't see them. I don't hear them. And then I see the bites and feel the itch! Damnnit! And skin nearing the 40s don't recover like in the 20s. And because I am prone to keloids, I dread getting any bites/knocks/falls etc... anything that may scar me for life.

I was recently out on a shoot at Changi Beach Park and came home with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 sandfly bites! I now have to hide my legs behind jeans :( but then the weather's been too fucking hot so I don't really give a damn anymore about hiding those damn scars.

Anyway, coming back to the mossies... the boyfriend's theory for me about the mossies: they have not evolved (as much as I think they have). It's just that I've gotten older and my hearing and eyesight are failing me - therefore I can't see them and hear them as well! Is this really the case??
