This I found in the evening while doing some backyard work. My camera and gear was already setup from an earlier photo shoot and I was in time to get some shots in.
This Mosquito was on top on an old clothes peg, what surprises me is that it is not bothered with my presence and it's surrounding. Other times they would just fly away upon my approach.
