This mosquito couldn’t hide from me! Caught out near The Narrows of Buffalo Lake (north of Stettler, AB, Canada), this mosquito was sitting quietly on the cold, quiet rain-filled day of June 11, 2020. 

She (that much I’m sure of), was sitting on one of the Lily Family’s Star-flowered Solomon’s Seal (Maianthemum stellatum). These native forbs bloom from June to July, bearing little fragrance and turn into dark purple berries by August. Mosquitoes tend to be around during the same period, unfortunately!

Photos were taken with my Canon Rebel XS DSLR T6i camera with a Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8 Macro lens.
