And OMG! Mosquitos at my house are already as big as wasps! Just kidding, but with our spring moisture, we are already experiencing huge mosquitos. I'm scared to think of the middle of June, 8pm at night, my front deck, sitting outside drinking tea, watching the sun go down, vampire mosquitos slowly draining my blood. . . . . .UGH!

My cousins and I would catch June Bugs and tie a string around their legs and fly them in circles over our heads. Then we would run around pretending we were helicopters. The buzzing sound of the June Bugs was our engine/propellar noise.

I do have to say that I agree with CaptRn, June bugs are not that big of a problem, mosquitos will be more bothersom.

Just remember to bring warm clothing and have winter survival equipment in your vehicle. Snow is not uncommon in June. Neither is cold weather. Every county in Wyoming has recorded snow in every month of the year. Every county in Wyoming has recorded below freezing temperatures in every month of the year.

But do bring something with DEET, although in most ares June is not a bad mosquito month.
