    The bottom image is missing the pests specific to your region, hovering over the person’s head, driving it mad. Here in southern Quebec it’s deer flies. Apparently in Scotland it’s midges.

    I love to go camping on my bike or go kayaking as much as I can. But this year so far has been horrible for me. I have never had so many deer flies chasing me and biting my shoulders while cycling through wooded areas. I have to hurry to pitch my tent and then hide in it for much of the trip, then hurry to take it down while being attacked by a horde or mosquitoes and deer flies.

      If you ever head south to the Pine Barrens, make sure to say hello to the greenheads while you’re there. They are very curious and friendly.

      Speaking of missing images, I realized after posting that I neglected to include a “ME” panel to follow the original more closely.

      At least I'm safe from greenheads
