Such bravery… he proceeded to play with the corpse until nothing was left of it :)
That’s not a mosquito, it’s a harmless mosquito hawk, aka crane fly. Not a risk to humans, lives off grass roots.
Mosquito hawks are dragonflies, which actually eat mosquitoes. That there is a gollywhopper.
The Crane Fly also gets called a Mosquito Hawk:
Sure, if you’re a stupid idiot.
(Adult crane flies don’t eat. They don’t even have mouths.)
Alright, Lemmy is just Reddit now. I’m out.
Bye?

where the fuck do you think most people here came from
I was hoping there’d be a filter in the type of people (because Lemmy requires some intelligence and a preference away from mainstream systems). I was incorrect.
Lacking obnoxiousness is apparently not a collorary.
Eh

“Unlike the name suggests, a mosquito hawk is not a single insect. Instead, it refers to a group of insects, including the crane fly, dragonflies, and damselflies. The term originally came from the idea that these larger insects feast on other types of mosquitoes. In reality, only dragonflies and damselflies are effective predators of mosquitoes.”
My cat hunts cockroaches! I usually find a dead one in the morning lol. Also no I’m not dirty I just live in an old house in Japan.
My brother’s cat hunts flies and mosquitos for him. She’s a helpful little soldier.
My sister had a cat who was declawed (not by her), medicated, old, sort of inbred, and had lived inside all his life. A more harmless cat you could barely imagine. He regularly found it a challenge to drink his water without fucking it up, and spent a lot of time just staring at the wall.
He once found a moth that was already damaged when he got to it, and successfully killed it. He carried the moth around in his mouth, clearly basking in the intoxicating flood of pride of the hunter he was feeling, for almost an hour before eating the whole thing.
