The Bughouse

The Bughouse



The Florida great outdoors is renown for snakes, gators, panthers, feral hogs, and the legendary swamp ape. What we share with these critters is a predator known in the vernacular as the "no-see-um." Talk to anyone and you will learn the little gnats (or sand fleas according to one authority) are worse in the day, in the night, when it is sunny, when it is cloudy, when it is warm, and when it is cool. Their bite is much bigger than their size.

One protection is fine screening. Experts say bridal veil material is fine enough but some people just cannot wear bridal fashions, I mean on some it is too-too. Another source of protection is a mesh tent/canopy as pictured above. It is not foolproof, what is? However, very few get in and those you can dispatch with an icepick if you are good.
