July 02 - Lifetime of Rain

Rain! Again!
It’s bad enough for us, but imagine you are a mosquito with a short lifespan and you spend it all in the rain.
I almost feel sorry for them.
Anyway, I spotted this little chappie sheltering from the rain. I think it’s a mosquito.
It had a nice pattern on its back which I seem to have taken more notice of than its face :0(
He'll never know and I’m not getting wet again so it’ll have to do for today.

If it's a boy you're safe, it's the females who bite ....

Aha, mozzie - squish ;o) He looks quite beardy, no wonder he's taking shelter!
