## Caption

Quick mosquito fact: Most mosquitoes don’t even get paid to be annoying. They just do it for fun. 🦟

Everyone needs a hobby. What’s the buzz? Recent rains in places like congareenps have led to an uptick in buggy activity. If planning a visit, we recommend wearing long sleeves and pants. If using insect repellent/bug spray (not a bad idea at any time), make sure and apply before you hit the trail! 

Have fun!
