Mosquitoe larva is small and can be hard to spot, which is why it is important to regularly inspect and change any standing water in household where the cilmate is conducive to the growth of malaria transmitting mosquitoes.

The kids got a real kick out of the mosquito nets at Hacienda Tijax. Christina stripped herself naked and ran around inside this one for a while before wearing herself out.

I was working out in the yard and when I walked by my garage I thought I had walked into a swarm of bees. They were everywhere but I quickly realized they were just ladybugs. I went inside for my camera and took a couple shots but it was freaky with these things landing all over me. They were in my hair, on my face, down my shirt. I couldn't take it. I took about 5 shots and had to get out of there. A couple of those little buggers even bit me. Other than mosquitoes, I've never been swarmed like that before. It was freaky. The weather was sunny and around 60 today so I am sure that had something to do with it.

The Mosquito's wings have a very distinct shape, which I tried to replicate with stacked plates. This came in very handy in building the camouflage pattern.

Mosquitoes are insects which make up the family Culicidae. They have a pair of scaled wings , a pair of halteres, a slender body, and long legs. The females of most mosquito species suck blood (hematophagy) from other animals, which has made them the most deadly disease vectors known to man, killing millions of people over thousands of years and continuing to kill millions per year by the spread of diseases.[1][2]
Length varies but is rarely greater than 16 mm (0.6 inch)[3], and weight up to 2.5 mg (0.04 grain). A mosquito can fly for 1 to 4 hours continuously at up to 1–2 km/h[4] travelling up to 10 km in a night. Most species are nocturnal or crepuscular (dawn or evening) feeders. During the heat of the day most mosquitoes rest in a cool place and wait for the evenings. They may still bite if disturbed.[5]

It didn't really look like a mosquito.
What I smashed on the wall tonight.
Red as poster paint.
Is that my blood?
I didn't feel a bite.
Is this camera working in macro mode?

The Alpine State Highway (aka CA-4, also, the Ebbets Pass Scenic Byway) constitutes the long way home; much of it is nothing more than a narrow, twisting ribbon of asphalt through the Sierras that climbs up and over Ebbets Pass.
Don't expect cell service, or any services along the way. Most importantly, try to keep you eyes on the road at all times! That will be difficult to do given some of the amazing scenery.
