Glass Mashquito
Caught between a window and a face-palm, the little ectoparasite spilled her guts in a death slide.
Mosquitoes are attracted to CO₂, and they are able to home in on humans by detecting the trace gas in our exhalations, so watch out for that heavy breathing around mosquitoes, and smash them when you can.
I watched this one bouncing against the door window for several minutes before I went out and smashed it. I don't know why mosquitoes do that; maybe they can smell us through the windows. Normally, I don't pursue them outside, and give chase only when they invade my space.
However, I should add I've killed many mosquitoes outdoors while watching and photographing birds in line with my general strategy: kill all mosquitoes!
