[at-l] Re: Camping colors

[nealb at midlandstech.edu (William Neal)]

I hiked a long ways in a very LOUD floral print shirt I made out of some
cloth.  VERY LOUD.  Attracted not one yellow jacket.  Also, when I am not
wearing black, I wear lots of bright floral Hawaiian shirts.  No trouble
from bees or jackets.

Yellow jackets are attracted to any bright clothing, I believe, especially
floral prints.

There are also well known  color preferences of bees and mosquitos. It is
best to avoid them.  I don't remember them for sure but I think mosquitos
like blue.
