Such a lovely close-up of this little lady !! are we looking for friends or foes !! I notice a flea / mite or some sort of insect on her nose -- not to be beaten just took my magnifying glass - found another above her eye ,above her nose and possibly others in her fur !
@gardencat@beryl@ljmanning@shutterbug49 yep they are mosquitos, so blood sucking insects. she can brush them away, but I think she was a bit focused on me at the moment. a good reason for a koala to sleep in a ball shape with their face protected!
I feel for you Matilda! They love my "sweet blood" too. Too bad I can't loan you some of my Avon Skin So Soft Bath Oil- it's the best mosquito repellent ever!
