The extreme bug-ugliness of the first picture clashes with the snowy beauty of the second.

I was thinking it looks like a mosquito-hawk. We have those down here...but upon closer examination, I suppose it could be one of those nukulur chernobyl-mosquitos, given Tranan's location...

They are a mosquito? OMG!!! Yuk. A mosquito that lives through winter weather? Even more yuk.

Mosquito hawks aren't mosquitos, Mrs. Kendall. They eat mosquitos, which is why they are good.

I do not harm them. They are useful and keep down the populations of much more destructive and annoying pests. For the most part, these are jolly beasts in their little bouncing hops across the lawn.

You speak the truth. I ended up with two hundred bites over one holiday in Queensland. On my feet.

And yes, I counted them. There was honestly nothing better to do.

If the pic's length is 24 mm, natural scale, and the mosquito takes up roughly 40% of that, then the mosquito is a little less than 1 cm (not counting the legs)...

I should probably post pictures of our snow here since they're really pretty.
