Bug Report

This bug was on the outside of the screen yesterday morning. When I went out on the balcony to shoot it from the other side, it flew off.

We're surprisingly bug free for a tropical country. I don't think it's because they use a lot of pesticides because we have some bugs and downstairs there are lots of frogs that wouldn't survive. I credit it to screens, not leaving food out, and being on the fourth floor.

Mosquitoes are surprisingly absent. Except for early evening if you are sitting with your bare or sandaled feet under a dark table, we really have hardly noticed mosquitoes.

Busy day at work today as time gets short. J leaves next Thursday morning for LA, Seattle, then Anchorage eventually. I'll leave Saturday for Singapore then Anchorage.

  1. Thailand's loss will soon be Alaska's gain!

    How did Thailand not get a lot of mosquitoes? Are the critters fond of White people like they are in Alaska or are they just not around?

  2. Thailand has always had a lot of mosquitoes and malaria has been a serious problem in the past.

    I'm guessing it's because it's the dry season and has been for a while.
