JanetL Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Anyone been to Essex / Cranes lately and know if the greenheads are out yet? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Haven't been in the area lately, but in a Google search found an interesting FAQ; Greenhead Fly FAQ | Northeast Massachusetts Mosquito Control and Wetlands Management District (nemassmosquito.org) And, if it can be described as such, in referencing these menacing beasts...a somewhat clever and humorous piece on life with GHs Life in the Time of Greenheads – Historic Ipswich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spuglisi Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I haven't been to cranes lately but the greenheads are already out in the Merrimack river/Plum Island area. Pretty early this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glad Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I spoke with Doug Cooke who lives in Ipswich and he agreed with Sal saying they are out early this year. However, neoprene, dry suits and/or light clothing can be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverseyourself Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) They are out in force, cut right through my long neoprene pants last Tuesday night during a quick paddle from Pavilion. Edited July 3, 2021 by Inverseyourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
