Here is an excerpt from Mark Twain’s “Life on the Mississippi.”
Mark Twain is “recounting” what he heard from a denizen of Louisiana about the local mosquitoes:
“He said that two of them could whip a dog, and that four of them could hold a man down; and except help come, they would kill him—”butcher him," as he expressed it. Referred in a sort of casual way—and yet significant way— to “the fact that the life policy in its simplest form is unknown in Lake Providence—they take out a mosquito policy besides.” He told many remarkable things about those lawless insects. Among others, said he had seen them try to vote. Noticing that this statement seemed to be a good deal of a strain on us, he modified it a little: said he might have been mistaken, as to that particular, but knew he had seen them around the polls ‘canvassing.’"

My mother always said that mosquitos like women more than men.

Rip’s bloodstream is mostly filled with maple syrup; too sweet for mosquitoes.
