The state bird of Virginia is the mosquito.
Please note the shadow being cast by this particular bird bug on the bathroom wall.
I learned that this species of mosquito is known as a vector for human malaria.
Luckily, malaria was eradicated from the US back in the 1950's.
Unfortunately, it wasn't because they got rid of the birds bugs that transmit the disease.
You need some of my bug thug!

ReplyDeleteThose mosquitoes are pissing me off. Their bites hurt a lot and leaves red patches that sometimes turns to dark scars. Ugh! Don't forget they also are disease carriers like dengue and malaria.
