Mosquitos don't just come after us, as you can see And, yes, they even go for the face/head on turtles, too! And believe it or not, the turtle is squirming, and the mosquito is wiggling, just settling in for her feast!
Not the most active of WC posts this week, but I think it's a good one to end the week.

And yellow flies, horse flies, sand gnats and ticks! They're all God's creatures, but I wish they would bite each other and not me.

Let's see, I'm guessing that you had to increase your shutter speed to at least 1/60s to freeze the motion here. Fine look at this turtle and it's tiny tormenter, Lucy. I often see turtles and birds with many mosquitoes biting around their eyes, seems like it would be very annoying, but it's not clear what they can do about it.
