Discovered that hilltops can be surprisingly #COVIDSafe (and #mosquito free) picnic places...

You need a hot day....and the picnic should be in the late afternoon/early evening

Find a picnic spot at the top of a hill. The hot land creates a steady breeze of warm air rising up the hillside... so your picnic party is bathed in a steady stream of rising warm fresh air

You get views, endless fresh air... plus, the mosquitos can't handle the steady breeze, so no #mozzies

@ElizaJaneAgain I can relate except for me I sit outside and go, ah this is lovely and my husband goes, I'm getting munched!
#Mozzies

The world record for the number of mosquitoes, caught in a single trap overnight.

This figure was recently broken in the Riverina, NSW

Anyone care to guess how many???

Fun fact: Thai #mozzies are a lot slower and easier to kill than the ones in #Singapore
