There is a joke about mosquitoes in Northern Norway that goes like this:

Two mosquitoes caught a soldier and one asked the other: should we eat him here or bring back home? To which the other mosquito answer: No, lets eat him here lest we want one of the big mosquitoes come and take him.

I was south in Troms and down there they were so small we could easily kill them with a shovel or something ;-)
