Giant alien flies.

That time when I found this lovely green mantis I spotted another little alien. A less active one.
Probably storm caught she somewhere and all she wanted to do was rest and get dry.
I was walking around her and she didn't even twitch!

I don't know why I always called it a mosquito. Probably because of the long legs and thin wings. It is a fry though. A giant one!

They fly like they are drunk especially when they get inside the house. I never liked them. I read that they live only about two weeks and now I feel a bit sorry for them.
My cat likes them though. A lot :p

Bonus shots.
Everything is just so pretty after the rain...

They do get super clumsy and creepy when they're inside the house. I don't know why they fly right into faces. It's like they're asking for death. Or testing their powers of intimidation.
But this one looks very pretty, all outdoors and thousands of miles away from the inside of my apartment.

I know right? They are completely nuts inside.

all outdoors and thousands of miles away from the inside of my apartment.

I feel the same way about all the beetles and moths :p
