Threadbare pants on this mosquito’s legs have chafed until no longer wearable, but they keep on being used. Part of it stems from the fact that mosquitoes don’t live very long, and an investment in new trousers would likely be wasted. An even more significant factor in play is our mosquito friend’s aversion to visiting the local insect clothing store that’s always positively crawling with boorish, clumsy and inarticulate drones.
