It flew in through the window and I felt bad smacking because it was escaping the cold and was just one mosquito, like a wounded soldier instead of an invading army. So I let it be, I could live with one mosquito sucking my blood easy peasy for the rest of my life, that’s no problem really.

But it’s now three days later and I’ve got no bites.

On the first day when I didn’t smack it flew down on the coffee table before me, turned it’s tiny butt side toward me slowly and then bobbed it. It wasn’t cartoonishly perfect, it didn’t look like it was shaking it’s butt at me and taunting me, but it was odd.

Then when I was vacuuming yesterday it kept flying around the vacuum nozzle/head like it was trying to get sucked in.

Today it landed on my heel (I sit weird on the floor while working on the computer) and stood there. It wasn’t biting me, wasn’t trying to nor could it through the tougher skin of the heel.

What a weird mosquito. I’m just making it public that it’s perfectly welcome to stay for as long as it likes and I’m glad I didn’t smack it.
