Giant mosquito, more wormies
In the mornings I like to go out to my "patio" (my back stairs landing) to check the weather and see if anything cool is out there. I was disappointed not to find any tent caterpillars, but when I turned to go back inside I spotted two fat ones resting on the wheel of the trash bin. I imagine they're getting close to enclosing. I'm going to miss seeing them :') Honestly I'm not sure what their cocoon looks like, it probably uses silk but idk.
When leaving for work, I saw this smallish moth on my doorframe. I looked harder and it looked like a small crane fly... But then I looked at it from the side and its abdomen was full of blood! This was a giant mosquito. I wish I got a picture but I was already so late for work. I've never seen a mosquito like this. She had light brown wings elegantly folded behind her in a V. Which is why I thought she was a moth at first glance.
I've been cleaning out my digital pictures and the amount of horrible bug pictures is astronomical. So I don't feel compelled to add to the pile right now..
