A late CN 120 passes is about to leave New Brunswick and enter Nova Scotia is going by the marsh research centre. Mosquito repellent is an absolute must here in the summer and also walking in hip-high grass after a rain is interesting too.

Sometimes you need to avoid the lure of bright shiny things. They can be deadly!
Mosquitoes are insects in 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 vector known, killing millions of people over thousands of years and continuing to kill millions per year by the spread of diseases.
Length varies but is rarely greater than 16 mm (0.6 inch).

A dead mosquito who seems to have drowned on a plate in my kitchen which had some water on it. The photo was taken with a Lumix TZ-7 using the macro setting. Not bad for a simple camera.

Mosquito Magnet review from Doug S. in Forked River, NJ:
"I live in Southern NJ. We have owned a Mosquito Magnet for the last six years. Until I purchased the Magnet, I could not enjoy my backyard or swimming pool without a dozen of those pests hanging off my arms and legs. We have 8 Grandchildren who also appreciate the freedom from insect bites and are able to spend a lot more time outside in the evenings.
Thanks Mosquito Magnet!"
We have outbreaks of mosquitoes and with Ross River Virus being about, the council sprays or dusts with fine pellets to control the little suckers. I was standing on the edge of a small lake when the pilot set down VERY close by to check the dust tanks.
A portion of the piece "Unknown Creature - Mosquito" by "Shen Shaomin" at the Saatchi Gallery, focusing on the head.
One of several giant mosquito sculptures we encountered during an Alaska trip. It's intended to be only a slight exaggeration of the size that these creatures attain during the brief summer season.
