Asian Tiger mosquitos bite 24/7 and are found in many parts of the USA and EU now sadly.

these are the type of hardworking immigrants this nation needs.

Are they known to be very gay?

Why does this image need any of the commentary above or below?

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because otherwise how to promote that xitter account?

Memorable name + generic commrnt + popular emoji

FML! It was well over 90 degrees farenheits last week and the flies were BITING!

I got nailed several times by one of the fuckers in my car until it escaped out the window.

It was just a regular black housefly. I had no idea they could bite. Like a needle stabbed into me.

At least the mosquito is relatively painless.

Fuck biting houseflies.

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Most likely a stable fly. House flies have sponge like mouth parts for soaking up liquid and are incapable of biting.

I had never heard of stable flies before. Here we have horse flies that are apparently similar but not the same species as stable flies.

At work we get deer flies. Bites can be described as feeling like getting stabbed with a serrated needle. Shirts, DEET, jeans, don't matter. They need blood to reproduce and they're horny enough to find a way through it all.

And they're smart enough to always go behind you.

Mount plasma coil on head. Zap with 200kV if get too close.

In the picture isn't a tiger mosquito that bites 24/7 and not only night time? A hardworking asshole

[–] ShankShill@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

I'm more worried about deer flies at work.

Time flies like an arrow.

Fruit flies like a banana.

They get wasps from a temping agency to cover the evening rush.

At first I thought Spy vs Spy had finally come to a cordial conclusion.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

Both are pollinators so I guess this is somewhat true, also mosquitoes are crepuscular but they are also active during rainy or cloudy days, maybe moreso if humidity is higher.

[–] mystrawberrymind@piefed.ca 2 points 1 month ago

That’s very accurate. Thanks for the laugh xD

[–] starik@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

Yep, night shift looks like a strung-out chain-smoker.

[–] Echo5@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Nature must be offering the mosquitos overtime.

I like sleeping in the cold during winter, but you have to put so much more effort into going outside or you get sad.
