Legs

I've always known that mosquitoes aren't ordinary insects. They are supposed to have 6 legs, right? Poor chap.

Another obvious song title, alive and kicking:

Only a nice guy would have sympathy for a mosquito. Maybe somebidy went for him and missed...

@fueast It wasn't me :-)

I once managed to squash about 100 in a single room with a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel. I wouldn't have let that little bleeder get away!

@rich57 Haha. I'm too kind, I know. Took my time getting this picture; getting my phone, attaching the macro lens getting very close with the lens in it's ear and taking many shots because there was actually not enough light. The bugger managed to fly and walk away a few time :-) Have you ever seen a mosquito walk? I hadn't!

You still have mosquitos this late in the year? Poor little 5 legged fellow. (I actually didn't notice that until I read your caption, lol)

@pwallis Last year we had them guy all year round. Not very active and easy targets but still... To be honest, I only noticed the missing leg AFTER uploading, haha :-)

[Amy Spada]

Yep! One's missing all right! Nice shot.

Must have been a near-miss with a fly swatter.... =-)
