1# 2# - Culex sp. aka Common Mosquito
2# 4# 5# - Armadillidium vulgare aka Common Pill bug , RolliePollies, or whatever you may call it.


I was bored today. So decided to find some critters. Luckily I've found a mosquito (what the hell? A mosquito in winter? ). I killed it after this picture of course, there are plenty of them in winter, killing this bloodsucker makes me no pity.
Then I’ve gone to the garden and throughout the pots I’ve found these RolliePollies as you guys called them previously(luckily I’ve not found any fuckin bitch aka centipede..sorry for the words, but I really hate them) . And made them a little sessions. They love me, they were very nice to me and they made many poses. But to tell you the truth I am not too fond of them, and AGAIN another set of them? Gosh..so after some shots I’ve put them on the garden again..and well this was my boring day… :)

That is just CRAZY!!!! I am suprized he is alive in Winter...Excellent Captures!!! karmankwarner · 2011-01-08: 12:46
