MOSQUITO BABIES
Today was a day I really wish I would have had my camera. At work I had to clean this little old lady's gutters. I have never seen gutters this packed. There were 3 layers:
-Dirt at the bottom (Which smelled and looked like Poop)
-Small Growing Plants
-4 inches of Water
It was truly disgusting putting my hands (wearing gloves) in this mess, sloshing it around and then throwing it into a bucket. It smelled like a poopy swamp, I almost threw up a few times. After 20 minutes or so I started looking in the water. There were hundreds of these small little creatures. All just millimeters long, rolling around and swimming. They looked like little tadpoles. I should have take n some and put them in a water bottle. After doing that for 5 hours I came home and searched, "Little Organisms in Water". Well, it turns out they were baby mosquitoes. ICK. I'm sure that water had been stagnat for quite some time and it makes sense because they're were tons and tons of mosquitoes at the house.
I saw a few in this stage:
but mostly like this:
and this:
I hate mosquitoes. I hate the word too. Also, is there really an "e" in the plural form? It looks so weird.
