I went out into my garden wearing shorts this afternoon, and within thirty minutes I had acquired three vicious bites on my legs. I mean, what the bloody hell is biting me in MARCH!! Blood was running down both my legs fer chrissake. I didn't notice the first two culprits, but I saw the bloody thing third time round. It will bite no more. It was black, oval and about 5mm long. Little minibeastly bastard.
