Mosquitoes bite you as if they are in some kind of love with you. Tonight I was bitten by the last mosquito of the year...it was determined to make it count too...

Asian Water Monitor

Wikipedia: The Asian water monitor (Varanus salvator) is a large varanid lizard native to South and Southeast Asia. It is one of the most common monitor lizards in Asia, ranging from coastal northeast India, Sri Lanka, mainland Southeast Asia to Indonesian islands where it lives close to water. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It was described by Laurenti in 1768 and is among the largest squamates in the world.

The Asian water monitor is also called Malayan water monitor, common water monitor, two-banded monitor, rice lizard, ring lizard, plain lizard, no-mark lizard and water monitor.

Conservation status: Least Concern

Not many mosquitos on this snowy day in late May, but beautiful new growth on the willows along Rock Creek. At 10,370 ft (3160 m), this is one of the highest places one can drive in the Eastern Sierra. I am eager to hike here, hopefully this coming autumn, as I won't have to gain much elevation to feel high in the mountains.

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments.

All I can think about when I look at this picture is how badly the mosquitos were attacking me at the time. I got there too early and was afraid I wouldn’t even make it to sunrise. After the sun finally came up I fled way sooner than I would have liked considering how long it took me to get up there. This is also where I was sitting when I took the wildflower image I posted a few days ago.

Acadia NP is broken up into three large sections. This is the easternmost -- Schoodic Peninsula. I will present not only bits of the national park, but also some towns and nature preserves.

Crane Flies look like giant mosquitos, but they do not bite. They somehow gained a reputation as mosquito eaters, but the adults don’t eat anything at all - they only live 10 – 15 days.

Happy Sliders Sunday!

As long as this little pesky mosquito stays on the pansy, we're all good!!

I live in the Midwest and mosquitos are always a constant consideration for us. Most of the places that we have backpacked out in the wilderness, oddly enough, do not have a problem with mosquitos. In our entire time in the North Cascades and miles and miles of hiking: we had one fifty foot stretch where I was inconvenienced a few times by my neighborhood foe. :)

Wonderful Sunday to you.

I was inspired to create these images by the so-called "conspiracy theorists". (German Schwurbler) On various Telegram channels, theories circulate that insects are being bred to secretly vaccinate people. 😂

The mosquito remained calm to my great surprise...

Heute ist es hier so heiß wie vor 2 Wochen in Greetsiel und auch die Mücken tanzen hier in großen Mengen.

Lasst es euch trotzdem gut gehen !

Today it is as hot here as it was 2 weeks ago in Greetsiel and also the mosquitoes dance here in large numbers.

Have a good time anyway!

♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
