Your midges are nothing compared to Lough Neagh Midges! They are huge - ive tried to find a decent description of them on the net so you dont think im exagerating but I cant, you will just have to take my word for it. Also these bad boys are not found anywhere else in the world so y'all are lucky!

About the best I can do is This

and you can see randalstown on there (thats where Im from )

Nae, can't say that I have. I have been ravished by mosquitoes though.

Ah.  I'll post you a jamjar of midges if you like.  Then you can release them in your house and see if the fleece works...

Hmm, feel free to post them, but methinks I'll keep them in it & laugh at them trying to get out.

If they got a little stir crazy in that there jar, do you think they'd start biting eachother?

Maybe Darren should get us a jarfull each & we can share our observations?  (Vic, please could you video his midge catching?  We won't mind if it's through the car window!)

What, so you don't think a video of you running round filling jam-jars with midges would be funny?

I'm not gonna catch the midges with jam jars.  That would just be silly.


I'm gonna make a midge sized poster of a sexy girl-midge with alluring attributes and the words 'Get It Here' with an arrow pointing towards by patented cunning midge trap...

Darren, your logic has one fatal flaw: only female midges bite!
