Biting midges man, they scary
noneofyourbussiness
Those dont look like the mosquitoes I've seen... probably a different blood sucking bug.
ThePertinentSquirrel
Mývatn, the lake in the north of the island Literally translates to Midge Water/Lake. I assure you there are plenty of mosquito's in summer!

They're not mosquitoes, they're another species of small insects that don't bite you. Still annoying though.

Those are gnats.

Mosquitoes or not.....your lives ain't gonna get easy either way .....

obviously robot mosquitos collecting your blood to make a clone army for the government

Who said there are no mosquitos?

They do have biting midges, this is lake Mývatn - https://imgur.com/lgCsxEX

As much a lie as the name itself.

It's true, they just have other insects that bite http://icelandreview.com/news/2013/06/27/no-mosquitoes-iceland-puzzles-scientists

I contacted my top Norseman on this issue, his response :

My guess those are flies. Looks like the location could be myvatn. Ridiculous amount of flies when I was there.
The first picture is not myvatn.
Gaehhn
Looks like Seljalandsfoss.

Everyone knows Africa is the only place without mosquitos
SteveSteveSteve55
It's tough to tell these days, but I'm guessing this is fake news.
Theman098
the fuck did you think? that the little shits reach the border, only to be shot down by the icelandic laser defence network?
ElbowdeepinElmo
Iceland really doesn't have mosquitoes. They do have other fly-like insects that bite you though (which is probably what you see in the pic)
Janusha
I live on the 6th floor. Havent seen a mosquito all summer.

I moved from Holland (mosquito central) to North England 8 years ago and haven't seen a single one in all that time. Loving it!
Imtoooldforthisshit1
Because the north of England (north west specifically) is the best place on earth!! (I’m drunk)
swenglishperson
when i go to my cabin in the north of sweden you can hear mosquitos swarming and it sounds like a distant jet engine powering up lol
I do not envy you!
RigoryMorty
Northern Sweden here too, they are a fucking scourge this year. Like jesus fuck, they're better off biting each other, I have no blood left.
buffalobagels
I got bitten by a mosquito in Scotland two days ago.
Was it lost?

FINALLY!!! I've been commenting on this for ever! there's about a Centillion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers) (1
mosquitos per human on iceland
joishine
midge lake, we don't have mosquitios but midges who don't really bite, never been bitten by one and my work brings me to midge lake often
MoonMouse
Ahh I thought they were mosquito s when we were there. Nice area but we couldn't get out of the car at one point because of them
How is midge then translated to Icelandic?
As a correction to my last comment (thanks @joishine) it is correct that there are no mosquitos but instead many midges in Iceland. 1/2
The lake that I was talking about is also translated to midgelake and not mosquito lakt like I stated before.
I removed the old comment so that it would not mislead anyone

Asking for a friend: what are bots used for exactly? I don't see the point...
Same bot as https://imgur.com/user/emiliomuhammadnoeljoeymiles Will probably be used for spam when they have a few accounts who can PM.

Sometimes they edit the post to include dodgy link, othertimes they farm points to send phishing pms.
BOSSMOPS
Getting fp, getting points, edit the post to link some shitty click bait or fishing sites or some shit

Oh yep sorry! I'm pretty tired :D
xSoaringWyvern
Nah, it's all a ploy to advertise for fishing gear. It's a conspiracy man!

Yo he might not be a bot..that could just be a word in Icelandic

Check the account. Most probably a bot.
DracoSicarius
No favorites, no comments, just created today and has already made it to FP. This is the very definition of a bot.
christinefromthebean
This is blowing my mind about bots, I don't know why i never thought about it ... I appreciate the bantering
BubbleTeaFox
Maybe he's a lurker that made an account to respond to a front page post about his country? I d'know, it's so specific for a bot.
Highly unlikely it's not a bot. It hasn't replied to any comments, not even this comment thread to say "hey I'm not a bot".
I suppose, but there also aren't any ads or links. I've seen a lot of complaints about bots, but what is it they're trying to accomplish?
BCrabby
Las Vegas has no mosquitoes!! Love it!!
schwiftyPop
You're a filthy liar
JoetheTrashPanda
I think we got some but they're not around where I live.
Sahrelli
I'm from AZ, no mosquitos there. Unless you live at a lake
My Sil in Phoenix had tons
MrDirtyEars
Not true
Serious? I lived by Aliante and Centennial and never had any
They're around. My friend works for the health dept. He catches and tests them for diseases.
Greatwood
You never been to sunset park i take it?
I never have any up in centennial
Oh well that's cause you never go outside then
