Hummingbirds are omnivorous after all.
Pretty much .. source, I live here. The mosquitoes near the airport require landing clearance.
Good thing you don't have much noise pollution regulation or they would be illegal!!
That's probably a male mosquito and it thinks that's a flower. Just trying to be a pollinator pally.
That is the most Australian image I have ever seen.
The mozzies and flies are insane.
Mozzies hate me for some reason, they avoid me all the time, like I could be the last choice for a starving mozzie and he'd still have to think about it.
Male mosquitoes don't bite. The blood is used to grow eggs by females. The females use she/it pronouns.
The females use she/it pronouns.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but to the best of my knowledge I don't think mosquitos have the concept of language.
Humans do. And according to human rules on language, it's she and it. She if you're under the illusion that mosquitoes have gender identities. It if you want to be scientifically accurate. Certainly he would be misleading.
Fuck off drag, ya weird little cunt.
He hates these cans!
Now there's a movie I haven't thought about in a long time... Thanks!
That's a big fucker.
