The Writing on the Wall

Happy beach folk

One mosquito down…

So how many more does that leave to kill? Actually, if you’re interested in mosquitoes – and believe me you become almost obsessed with them when you surrounded by them for a large portion of the day, have a look at wikipedia’s entry. Depressing reading indeed.
