midge top speed
If they can't fly in winds above 6mph you imagine they'll struggle to fly faster than 6mph in still air too.

I did wonder that. As they clearly seem to love Scotland I'd have thought by now they'd have evolved to fly a bit quicker than that and be granted more air/feasting time.
Or maybe they should just HTFU and stop being so control freaky about stability, direction and control, daddy long legs don't seem to give a fuck about that.
Was just trying to gather more data ahead of upcoming trip. So far it looks like I'll be praying for wind, dressed like the man from Del Monte, camping above 1500ft, and any time below that altitude has to be spent running or cycling away at a as yet underdetermined speed, but if those fuckers can only do 6mph I'm confident I can smoke them.
On reflection an English man dressed like the man from Del Monte may deter the midges from chasing, but might tempt a few locals into the hunt......dilemma.

The Internet has revealed to me that midges weigh about 1/8000 of a gram, can't fly in winds over about 6mph, don't go over about 1500ft in elevation, have the fastest beating wings in the world at up to 1000 beats a second, Scotland has up to 200 trillion of them in peak season, they are drawn to darker coloured clothing and something something ketones, but not a fucking sausage about midge top speed or range (on a still day with no wind assistance or hindrance, yadda yadda as if etc)
Frankly Elon Musk should stop all this Mars bollocks until we've got all these basic questions answered.
Anyone know?
