Foot Rainbows & the Little Mosquito Who Tried

2008.02.02
The afternoon sun casts rainbow light across my loungeroom. This was to be my post today, until the photo below happened....

(Picture courtesy of Matt)

I don't know if there is any truth to this, but I've heard that mosquitoes are attracted to positive blood types more than any other. As for me, all I have to do is stand outside at dusk for ten second before a couple of the insects are hovering around, trying to find a soft and fleshy place to feed.

Or in the case of today, I don't even have to be outside at all, simply sitting on the couch playing DS games. What I thought was a strand of hair tickling my upper arm turned out to be a mosquito that had fed on me not once or twice, but FIVE times. Swatting it away and inspecting the damage (I swell up pretty big from their bites), I settled back down to play again and the mosquito had the audacity to try for a SIXTH feed. This time I was ready and gave it a good deathslap.

Matt found the concept of getting my own blood back so funny that he took this photo. And that is the story of my Photoblog post today! ;)

chanchiewsoo Don't know the truth on mosquito attracted to different blood type; also there is a saying that mosquito attracted to fair skin people......so i seldom got bitten

athenabutterfly eeeek that mosquito had a lot of blood in it!!! thats one mosquito down, a bazillion more for mankind to defeat! lol

yeah when i was younger, i used to attract mosquitos more than my brother, and my mom and i never understood why they always came for me! =(

but for some reason as ive gotten older they pretty much leave me alone now...not so for my poor boyfriend though.
