Mosquitoes are rude, and not because they want my blood or anything I have plenty of blood to go around I just don't want to itch why do they have to make me itch

Saying "mosquitoes are annoying" after one bites me but shaking my head the whole time so the attractive single ecologists in my area know I understand their value in the ecosystem and that we would slowly die if they went extinct

The different cultures miku trend is really really cool unfortunately I'm from rural Ohio so if I had a miku she would look something like this

A reminder: if you were taught that mosquitoes in general are useless to the environment and could be eliminated “without consequence”, then you were taught incorrectly. People still regularly comment this silly notion on my posts with absolute confidence. Our goal is reducing risk to humans, NOT eliminating the dangerous animal altogether.

You don’t have to like irritating, gross, or dangerous animals (most people do not), but if you are ever arguing for the extinction of an entire animal species try to remember the natural world is unfathomably complex in ways none of us can predict.

Title: The Mosquito

Author: B.A. Paris

Series or standalone: standalone

Publication year: 2023

Genres: fiction, thriller, mystery, suspense, crime, contemporary

Blurb: Michael wanted to back out of this trip to the South of France after his wife left him, but his sister and their friends wouldn't hear of it. His fellow houseguest Rupert isn't in the mood, either, having recently been widowed...but rather than bonding, Michael is unsettled by Rupert's constant needling. That, and the bug bites are enough to suck the life right out of an idyllic holiday.

I feel like any aliens that were prey at some point in evolution would have an odd fear of humans. Mostly cause they look like predators, act a bit like predators, and ARE predators. One perfect example is when we're focused on something like a mosquito that's been bugging us for a long time and we are just done.

Alien: "What. What..?"

Human: *HUNTING down a mosquito it saw*

Alien: ".... yeah I am really uncomfortable...."

Human: *quiet footsteps, pupils dialated, intense focus,*

Alien: *WAR FLASHBACKS*

Human: "Found you." *absolutely desimates the mosquito, squashing it into a million pieces as it's guts and various body parts liquidize into blood of the bloodthirsty, now stained on the palm of the human. A living being now reduced to a useless corpse as the human wipes the remains on their pants*

Alien: "I feel like I've just gained trauma."

Is Rupert a vampire that turns into a mosquito? Is someone going to die in the bread oven?

I lost my dad to cancer. I know that everyone grieves differently, and losing a spouse is different that losing a parent, but Rupert is being absolutely awful. Even using that as an "explanation, not an excuse" is bullshit.

Also, this is how I'm picturing Rupert

OH DAMN. GET FUCKED, RUPERT

-

Ok, but you haven't bought the house and you haven't paid for the house and you have even PUT AN OFFER IN ON THE HOUSE. How do you figure it's yours, Rupert?

-

oh shit

OH SHIT

did Michael kill Rupert? Is he going to cook Rupert in the bread oven? Will anyone miss him, since he works for himself and he's a widower and he "wants to leave the UK"?

-

Ok, Michael. Make your lies believable.

This novella has a lot of Lamb to the Slaughter vibes.
