In one of my last posts I wrote about mosquitoes and how they seem to do nothing for the environment. Well now I have another bug that follows in the mosquito category and that would be little bugs called gnats.
If gnats didn’t group together to become one giant cluster that you can’t get around they wouldn’t bother me as much but they don’t. I have come to hate these bugs because I have had bad experiences with these clusters. When I go running outside I can see these clusters of gnats ahead of me and know that it’s not going to be a pretty sight. I usually put my shirt over my nose and mouth and close my eyes going straight though the gnats hoping that they will not go up my nose or in my mouth. Sometimes though I am not so lucky and gnats make there way into my mouth or nose and it’s nasty.
They don’t just go in your mouth or up you nose they also cling to your clothes. I recently had this experience when I went to the Country Fair inGalena Illinois . Every where I walked they seem to attach to my shirt. We found out that these gnats were attracted to the color of my shirt, which was green. We started noticing other people who were wearing similar colors also had gnats all over them. My mom and my sister who were wearing purple and red were gnat free. It wasn’t a very pleasant experience because I basically had bug guts all over my shirt for most of the day. I did learn my lesson though to never wear that color again on a natty day.
So I ask this question again, why are they on earth? To me, they seem too small to have a significant impact on the environment. Gnats don’t seem to be any other bugs main food supply because you would have to eat a lot of them to be full. They can lay about 200 hundred eggs a day so there is a constant supply of them to bother you.
I realized that gnats are not going to disappear off the earth anytime soon so we are just going to have to live with them. But, if everyone put apple cider vinegar and dawn dish soap (which does work) out in a bowl maybe they will soon become endangered.
