Cherry Blossom with flying scourge
Amidst my grilling last night I noticed the cherry trees in the yard are blowing up with blossoms. I took a minute to go and get a few shots with my phone and after the first few shots this monster came flitting around and landed on the flower I was photographing. The camera optics weren't willing to focus on the mosquito no matter how hard I tried to get it to so it looks almost like a shadow.
Needless to say I am a bit perturbed at the fact the mosquitoes are already out and about. I hope the summer is not a plague of em with all the moisture we have gotten this spring. I try an remove all the standing water I can but there is only so much that I can do.

How often do you eat bananas? We have severe problems with mosquito's here in the deep south. People who eat bananas at least once or twice a week, have much less problems from the little blood suckers, lol.
I have often wondered about the people in my family because almost no one in the entire family gets bit. I can only remember 2 bites in my entire life, both when I was young and spent a lot of times playing in the woods near the creek.
My daughter in law use to get so mad because she would be eaten alive while my son and I sat around untouched. She didn't believe it would help, but we started her eating bananas and within a couple of weeks they left her alone.
That is really interesting. I will have to keep my banana intake going this year for sure. I wonder what compound it is that causes that? Essential oil of banana for a repellent?
Does banana have oil? I don't know but it has always amazed me that science has been unable to find a natural repellent that actually works, when I know hundreds of people that seem to natural repel them and hundreds that have tried the bananas. It is probably one of those things where it is it is not in big businesses best interest to actual solve a problem. They make more money creating chemicals and don't work for a lot of people.
I'm testing my compare_hash function on this image. 👍
