I don't know why you want to plant lotus. There are always mosquitoes in NC. I planted a lot of lemongrass on my back porch and in the yard, it can repel mosquitoes. And my Moscovi ducks like eating mosquitoes. So this year we have much less mosquitoes. But still, if I need to go into the backyard at dusk to collect the ducks and geese, bug spray is a must have. And not one inch of skin should be left untouched! We have had ticks too in the backyard. Wasps stung my daughter once before. Those insects are truly annoying. Summer is very hot and humid here, often close to or above 100 degrees in the afternoon. And 90 degree days often last from early May till mid October, for almost half a year.

南京的蚊子更可怕，对吧？
