anyone who likes photographing bugs has had this experience: letting something feed on you for a little longer than ideal for the sake of a picture. this Aedes caspius was lucky to have found me on an overcast day, allowing her a few extra seconds while i adjusted my settings to make up for the garbage lighting. and don't worry, she was evicted gently with a simple poke (November 6th, 2024)
this cleg (Haematopota sp.) was a similar case, with extra stupidity on my part as i absentmindedly thought to myself "i better not spook her or she might bite me" as if she wasn't already slurping me up

Sharing the G/T Art fight attacks I did this year. These were so much fun to draw!!

Mosquito!!!!! This was really thrilling because my pants were to thick for it to bite me so I was able to actually get a good photo. (Assuming tumblr didn't destroy the quality)
