Ok, so I thought it looked a little big for a mosquito when I shot the picture, and my mind is full of midges, fungus gnats, wood gnats, gall midges and all the incredible variety around me that I used to just think were flies or gnats. I mean, with all these other cool critters in my head, do you actually expect me to recognize a simple house fly, honeybee, or mosquito any more?! :) (embarrassed grin)
Um...thanks for the ID, Sean.
