Wyoming Bug Bites — Weekly Forecast for the Week of October 12, 2026

Expect some lingering mosquito activity near the Wind River, particularly around dusk, as they seek out the last warm pockets. Drier conditions over the past month, with significantly less rainfall than last year, have slightly curbed overall insect populations. Keep an eye out for ticks if venturing into tall grass

Mosquitoes could still be a nuisance near the Snake River and its tributaries, especially as evening approaches. The notably drier weather observed over the last month, a stark contrast to last year’s precipitation, has somewhat reduced the typical late-season bug pressure. Trail users should check for ticks

Dusk will bring out some mosquitoes, particularly along the Shoshone River, but overall activity is decreasing. Monthly rainfall totals, nearly half of last year’s, mean less standing water for bug breeding. Be mindful of ticks on hiking paths

While overall insect numbers are winding down, a few persistent mosquitoes may emerge at dusk near irrigation ditches. The recent drier spell, with a substantial drop in rain compared to the previous year, has contributed to fewer insect hatches. Tick checks are still advisable after outdoor activities
