I watch them skim and dart about
and giggle with delight
as they alight and feed
upon my enemies

each summer I await
their timely arrival

"O, please bite'em I cried,
and bite'em again!"

It's mosquito payback time.

I feel the same way here, about bats!  I love to watch um swoop down and get those little buggers at dusk.
