If you are wondering if it is male or female a mozzie that big you should be able to see his nads!!

that mozzie looks like the guys at rpm. blood suckers!

Gday Guy
We have these buggers here on the mountain,
and have no idea what they are?
I have never heard anyone complain that they have been bitten by them..... unlike their little cousins and they dont try to land on you they just fly around the lights.
cheers Bazz

most likely a Toxorhynchites, also refered to as a mosquito hawk or mosquito eater, and no they don't suck blood. and commonly refered to as the alaskan state bird.

Cool, I will stop killing them then, was gonna sit back with a couple of beers and a nail gun for some target practice!

tape a laser pointer to the nailgun and aim for the tiny ones then. We got those up here and they do exactly what Baz says they do. They're still annoying.

I want to know if this is normal for a LETTUCE plant. They started going crazy about two weeks ago.

I wonder how tall it'd grow.

My missus would know, they are "going to seed" apparenty, she pulls them out at this stage because they don't produce good leaves anymore.

Going to seed! It happens to us all eventually!
