hi. and thanks for replies..

Somerset coast..

and there are no pets in our house..
but the wife does work in an infant shool ..
so fleas & lice may be an occasional occupational hazard !!!

Spent last night in very interesting google research on Bees..
'ours' seemed too dark to be a "Bumble" but not dark enough to be one of the "Carpenter" types..

the wife now feels very guilty because, in her panic at mistaking it for a cockroach
she dropped a stack of solid beermats on top of it
before screaming for me to come downstairs to remove it.

it didn't look too injured.. in fact it was a very strong powerfull little creature..

but mrs is worried now she might have mortally wounded it.

even more so now that she knows her visitor was a young royal 'Queen'...

anyway, is there a definite visual difference to distinguish mozzy from flea bites ?

..and something else I've never found a conclusive answer..

can mosqitoe bites apear as a delayed reaction over several days latere
from the actual mosqitoe attack ?

or do they only show up immediately after being bitten..????



and i've now got more on my legs, and now a very itchy cluster on my abdomen .. grrr!!!
