Unpopular opinion time, but hardly any. They leave me alone for the most part since I got old and all the bugs are gone and I just live and let live unless they're also around a less... oddly benevolent and susceptible... family member.
As counterpoint, I grew up as an outdoorsy person in northern BC, I know skeeters and have probably killed more than many downvoters could imagine except Manitobans.
Always struck me as odd how thick they get in cold climates. I've seen videos from Siberia where the guys in the field are wearing the mosquito version of bee keeper suits.
Meanwhile, in Florida, I have a couple of swampy acres out in the boonies and mosquitos aren't bad at all. They're worse in my front yard than out there.
