Seven-Years Ago Today. Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

I noticed a Mosquito emerging from some standing water in my backyard. I have seen mosquito larvae before, but not one emerging. After taking the picture, I drained all of the standing water I could find as there had been reports of the Dengue Fever, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, and the Nile Virus being spread by mosquitos. And I don’t like being bitten by mosquitoes when I go out at night to watch the fireflies.
