The stuff I will go through to get the shot. This is a Mosquito biting my left arm. Shot handheld with one hand! :D (the Mosquito got kinda smooshed right after this shot. :D )

I thought this shot was interesting only for the fact of the "whiskers" this guy was sporting under his chin.

This is a picture of a Blackfly that I'm holding between my thumbnail and my index finger. For those of you that are lucky enough to not have these guys, they are very small and bite like a Mosquito. The problem is, you don't feel them biting you at the time and later you get real itchy from their bites. :( This guy was met with an untimely death immediately after having his picture taken. :D
