bite me…

Yes, summer in Australia means sun, sand, surf, scorching days, and balmy nights - but with those comes an annual invasion by insects. Among the most welcome are dragonfiles and butterflies, but among the least welcome are the dreaded mosquito. The suspected culprit here is most likely Culex Molestus, common name Mole, or possibly it’s night time biting cousin Culex Quinqefasciatus. The irony that they are a prime source of food for the Dragonfly, is not lost on me…

clicking makes me big!

  3. Cléa : Now what ever gave you the idea I had a suntan? Perhaps I never explained that I am a member of that bizarre unter-culture, Gothic Surfers, who choose only surf at night, so crowds are not a problem. ;)
