Windshield of my Defender after 800 kilometers of hitting wasps, mosquitoes and other low-flying insects. Kuusamo. June 2006.
This is here because during a 30 sec. long exposure shot, a Mosquito turned up just as the flash went off - right in the middle of the picture!
every few weeks this chap comes around fogging the place & hopefully killing all of 'em pesky mosquitoes ..
Another from down the back yesterday.
This mosquito decided it was time for her dinner.

This is the same mosquito I posted on Friday. It took a while to ID, it is a Yellow Fever Mosquito (Aedes aegypti). It can spread dengue fever, Chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses. It originated in Africa but is now found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. In this shot, you can see the lyre pattern on the thorax that differentiates it from the Asian Tiger Mosquito that also has white stripped legs.
A feeding mosquito. He was very busy and steady :)

The summit sign on Mosquito Pass, Colorado at 13,185 feet on a cold, gray day. This is the divide between Lake and Park Counties. Leadville is to the left in Lake County and Fairplay is to the right in Park County. This was an other-worldly time to be up here and I felt like this was the entire world. I usually stretched out on the ground and leaned against the bike for a nice stick of peppered beef jerky and then a good cigar after making a climb like this.
