Not a healthy mosquito - only a dyne mosquito. I have no comment on this... Sorry, folks, it's all my fault.

Tigers are very tiny. We have a few around here, but they're not pests so far. Their bite is niggling compared to standard mosquitoes.
My neighbor calls those huge ones like in Cecil's picture "Canadian Soldiers". I can't imagine why, but they're impressive, and hurt. Everything bad comes from "up north." The farther north the worse.  Hey, carefull. Reminds me of a saying we have in western Canada. "The only good thing that comes out of the east is the sun (when referring to Toronto folk).

Only kidding in response to the, "Canadian soldier" mosquitos. I love Canada. If I had to live there I wouldn't have a problem with it. Of course I like to ice fish and the more remote the country the better!
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

I knew you were joking Cecil. Oh and by the way, for all of you south of the border, fall is in full swing here and I am returning your birds to you, with new ones from the summer hatch. So far I've seen Snow geese,Canada geese, and all the other assorted water fowl, ducks, grebes,coots, mergansers and loons. Also, pelicans, herons, cormorants,tundra swans and sandhill cranes. All pointed directly south. Have a nice winter.

Cecil, very mild fall, unusual for here. It was -7c this morning, so it's coming.
