    You could always move to Alaska... they don't have those bugs... just king size mosquitos and millions of gnats...

    I was camping in South Llano, TX one night and these things were flying around.. I was drunk, and thought something pinched me.. shined the light on it (I smacked it on the ground) and it was the dobson fly.. I made me a little more aware of the weird bugs flying around my head at night (Where's that Damn OFF..)

    :D
