All QJers -

Please note the passing, at approximately 3:27am this morning, of a hundred billion Quetico/BWCA mosquitoes.  The area experienced a significant "hard freeze" with recorded temps of 27 degrees Fahrenheit and lower across the range.  Cause of death was, presumably, "exposure."   These dipterous insects are of the family Culicidae.  The Culcidae family did not authorize an autopsy for confirmation. The blood line of the Culicidaes dates back into antiquity.  They are probably best known for their female family members who have a propensity for sucking the blood of animals and humans.  Consequently, very few mourners were present at the time of their demise or at the mass funeral.

There are no known survivors.

May we rest in peace.  Amen.
