This week alone I've swatted more mosquitoes than 7 years before combined. That I have a rough idea of how many mosquitoes I've encountered should explain how rare that used to be at 1850m elevation.
From no more than one a week during peak season to a handful daily. That's how much and how fast ecosystems are changing even in remote and protected places like Kodaikanal / Palani Hills.
