Mosquitos have great appreciation for the finer things.

Beautiful photo, and thanks for sharing it. Would not have seen it otherwise.

While reading the caption it occurred to me that very many of the prettiest places on Earth are infested with mosquitos. (Some of which don't require liquid water to breed.) I'm wondering if the little bastards are attracted to the scenery, or if they are there to discourage large numbers of visitors which would tend to destroy the area.

It's a puzzlement.

Thanks again.
