A few Winter Carnival pics, belatedly. Most of them didn't turn out, being as it was night and I am a suck photographer. HOWEVER I did get a shot of the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District's latest capture.

Let me get this straight... In MN, y'all have 1K feet of snow and temps of 40 below, plus the Timberwolves and Twins and Vikings, and now you're tellin' me you got skeeters the size of Buicks?

Wow. So is there any downside?

;)

Two teams that get no respect, no matter how great they are.

I see you are not familiar with the domesticated mosquito, Culex industrius, which is used on farms to haul hay and in municipal street cleaning operations. Once in a while they do go rogue, though. You should see the birds they bring in to handle those.
