Early morning. Trying to find Yellow-winged Darters (Sympetrum flaveolum) in an area where I photographed them for the last time, as a young boy, in 2011.
But I ran into a problem. I ran out of 'Off', a Finnish version of mosquito repellent. Medvastö in Kirkkonummi is a wet area, and due to serious amounts of rain, it was a very very wet area this year. Hundreds of mosquitos, perhaps thousands, who love this wet environment were coming for me... and I couldn't handle'm, as I didn't have my magic spray. Yes, I did find the Yellow-winged Darters, but so did the mosquitos find me.
Well, got a couple of nice shots, softens the itching. Happy Days.
I wish I could say that the mosquitoes were bad this day, but the only thing this photo proves is that they weren't.

No me canso retratar a este humilde músico callejero, y en esta ocasión con mi Kodak Brownie Hawkeye del 1949!!!
Thanks to mild winters and moist air, mosquitoes are thriving in Germany. And not just the native species.

Este es un llamado a todos las libélulas que quieran acercarse para luchar juntos contra el Dengue, haciendo extensiva la invitación también a sapos, arañas, lagartijas, y todo bicho al que le guste comer mosquitos.
Muchas Gracias
... Que lindo sería si lo pudieran entender... pero nos tienen miedo, con razón... en vez de las gracias, tenemos para ellos... más venenos!
This is a call to all the dragonflies who want closer together to fight against Dengue, by extending the invitation to toads, spiders, lizards, and every bug who likes to eat mosquitoes.
Thank you very much
... It would be nice if they could understand ... but they have fear, and rightly so ... instead of care we have for them ... more Poison!
this is basically straight out of the camera - very pleased w/ this one - bumped the saturation and texture slightly and then a slight burning on the mosquito herself to bring out the details - the ferns are golden right now and the lighting just set this one off

A carrier of many diseases, such as Malaria, West Nile, and Yellow Fever, mosquitoes are more deadly than one can truly think.
My entry to the 2019 Bio-Cup preliminaries. The theme was "Scary Monsters" so I decided to go for something I've wanted to build for a long time... a mosquito. Best of luck in the contest everybody!

I’ll remember this shot for the number of mosquitos stings I received during the very short time I allowed myself to set the tripod plus the time of the exposure. Amazing !

This mosquito was lucky because my wife was not yet home when I took this photo. We rarely see mosquitos coming inside our house and when my wife see them, she wants them dead ASAP. The other day, there was a mosquito in the wall... I rapidly went to get my camera with the reversed lens but when my wife noticed that I´m gonna take a photo of the mosquito, she smacked it instantly!!
Have a nice day all Flickr friends!!!
Thanks for your time... really appreciate your views,comments and faves!

Sitting alone in my cabin on a winter day, darkness settling in by 4:30 p.m. and the temperature at -20°F, I started looking through photos taken over the years. It’s good therapy for me. I get to relive all the trips my wife and I took together. I found this photo still sitting in the RAW folder, waiting to be processed, so I thought I’d share the story behind it.
There’s a place south of Delta Junction, Alaska that we loved to hike and camp at. On our first road trip together in 2010, as a new couple, we went there. It’s a two-hour drive from the cabin, and we would go between two and three times a month.
On this evening in late July, we decided to take a late stroll. This was before cancer, before Covid—when life was treating us well. Eddie was very fit for her age. She was 64 when this photo was taken, but she looked like she was in her 50s. She could out-hike me and pushed me to keep up. She was an Alaskan through and through.
We came across a cow moose in a pond, browsing on the vegetation just below the water’s surface. She would bend down, stay underwater for about 30 seconds, then come up dripping and chewing away. She kept one eye on us since we were fairly close, but she knew we weren’t a threat. She stayed in the pond eating while we watched her for as long as the mosquitoes allowed.
The evening was warm, calm, with only a few clouds in the sky. Just Eddie, me, and a cow moose—sharing an Alaskan evening together in the wilderness.
Oh, how I miss those days.
For you, my Eddie. My forever love.
Upside down aquarium is placed in a puddle so that the opening is just about submerged. Air is sucked out so that the water can rise and fill the space. Rising sun is reflected from the puddle surface, where some aquatic insect just made some ripples.

This trail leads from the park entrance (the only land access to the Kenai Fjords National Park) along the meltwater river and up to the face of the glacier. There are signs along the trail marking where the face was at various times. This is taken from a point just past where it was in 1917. So where I'm standing and everything in this shot was under over 100 feet (33m) of ice only 100 years ago. Something to contemplate. We did not stand here too long though, as we were being attacked by kamikazi mosquitoes, which of course are the Alaska State Bird.
With essentially normal snowpack in much of the Sierra Nevada this year, mosquitos will be thriving in vernal pools, waiting for us to arrive and feed them..
As part of a service to the community, the MOSQUITO patrols beaches and parks, and dispenses sunscreen on hot, sunny days.
I was amazed when I saw this on the snow and totally had to blink my eyes twice when I saw it walking! I can assure you, it Was walking! How did it survive, not only the cold but the snow and the wind? This was just hours after the latest snow storm. Is it a mosquito? I don't know. Sad to say, I left it to its fate!
