So, you`d say : why the fourth night in a row? Why didn`t you do something about it? Like.. squashing the life out of its’ worthless existence. Or, if I were a politically correct liberal at least catch and release it in the open air.
Well, I sure tried to do it - not to catch and release scenario – BUT the obnoxious creature kept successfully eluding me! Good radar on it, very alert, extremely high intuition – has to be a female. A mature one, probably one week old, in its ‘midlife. Wise enough to come up with a strategy, and patient enough to stick with the basic tactics of it : engage the pray only in his sleep, never land but on camouflage-like surfaces, stand still when challenged, don`t move a feather when The Food shakes everything around him in order to discover your whereabouts.

They emerged on this planet long before we learned how to walk straight (roughly 90+mil years) and they still linger; you got to respect that. Here they are, still buzzing and sucking the life out the most intelligent/powerful living being of the earth. I realized that I kind of started to like it when I heard a buzz near my left ear and instinctively slapped it so hard that it started to burn. Felt something wet and looking at my hand realized that respect ain`t worth a mosquito`s life these days.
