A mosquito just landed on my laptop screen.
It's either the end of winter or the end of the world as we know it. I mean, I know we've been having some weird weather lately, but where did this thing come from? I don't think we've had a long enough string of warm weather for the eggs to hatch, etc. before emerging as an adult bloodsucker.

More than a teaspoon...I have a wet basement, but it's cold, even in summer.

I have no idea, it could've just been warm enough.

Maybe it flew in from Florida... we did have winds from the south a couple days ago.

@BarBaraPrz There's hardly any wind, maybe we did send it your way.

Did you kill it? I haven't seen any this weekend with how warm it is but I have seen them during the winter here before.

I swatted at it but it didn't leave a smear on the screen, so I don't know where it went.

So I guess I wasn't just imagining it.

@BarBaraPrz No, because the one I killed arrived to suck my blood before I noticed it!

Warm enough weather for eggs to hatch? That's odd.

How annoying! I've had those little gnats land on mine in warmer weather. One thing good about winter no creepy flies or other insects buzzing around the house.
