Wet branch, watchful eye,
Green pond, a mosquito's hum,
Swift wing finds its meal.

In August of 2012 I was admitted to the Emergency Room with unknown affliction. My right leg just stopped working. Additional symptoms caused docs to put me in induced coma for 24 hours.
West Nile poliomyelitis. I walk with a limp, but I'm alive.

Chester Creek, PA
Hot and humid 🥵
The air was completely saturated, and the mosquitoes were trying to attack me 😑
But I still love walking along the creek with a fly rod in my hand 😊

Beyond detoxification: xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes rewire #mosquito sensory perception
#mosquito olfaction regulates host-seeking, ecological adaptation, and vectorial capacity. Beyond the classical receptor-centric paradigm, we argue that xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes form a dynamic perireceptor layer that actively sculpts odor identity, signal intensity, and duration. This metabolism gain control mechanism may integrate olfactory sensitivity and behavioral plasticity within a unified sensory framework.

Yikes! Oh No! My murder buckets lived up to their name! There’s a dead creature - rat, chipmunk, squirrel - dead in there! The branch I had in there is gone. Not sure if it disintegrated or flipped out but that critter is DED!
