Mosquitoes, unlike mayflies, bite. Everyone knows them, everyone hates them and they can make bowfishing a chore. Mosquitoes are most active around the dawn and dusk hours - so you will have a short window of time to bowfish in peace before they return to feed.
Mayflies don’t sting, unlike mosquitos
Their general appearance, summer-time presence, and knack for hovering around porch lights lend to the mayfly being mistaken for the mosquito. However, the mayfly is more closely related to the dragonfly. Compared to the mosquito, the mayfly has larger, upward slanting wings, and lacks both a mouth and a digestive tract. This feature (or lack thereof) creates the key difference between mayflies and mosquitoes: mayflies do not bite or sting, nor do they feed on homes, furnishings, or food. 2ff7e9595c
