minus-squarePsythik@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down2·1 year agoYou think mosquitos give a shit about the time of day?
minus-squaresmeenz@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 year agoYes, they tend not to come out in the heat, and turn up by the thousands as dusk arrives.
minus-squarepugnaciousfarter@literature.cafelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoDepends on the species. I suppose there are day mosquitos as well, but most come during the evening and night.

minus-squareskisnow@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15arrow-down1·1 year agoI couldn’t find any locations on Borneo on the list, but KL has a safety index of 39.5 on Numbeo, and Jakarta is 47.4 (higher is safer). Some US cities for comparison: NY, NY: 49.3 LA, CA: 46.2 Houston, TX: 36.4 Baltimore, MD: 26.9 So uhhh yeah.
