It looks like a Mississippi Mesquito, that would be the state bird… haha… cool shot Alan.
Thank you all for your kind comments. It was the eagle-eyed Tracey Scott who spotted the 'bug' first and brought it to my attention.
Fantastic
Great pic. Love the bug. Thats about the size of the bugs we get here in Thailand lol
Very good observation ! tks for sharing
I hope that's a friendly bug. It must be one of those night flying varieties that are only rarely seen.
