Mosquitoes of Burning Flipside 2024
At an art festival. These mosquitoes were A PROBLEM for the participants. So I wanted to document them for posterity. :-)
Keyed out to Ps. ferox using Darsie and Ward (2005). No scale pattern on the scutum. Had a few of these attempting to bite us around noon near our camp site. Beautiful iridescence on these mosquitoes.
Young blue jay still learning how to fly. Both parents were present and protective - very noisy about my presence.
