I used to have a field recording (it died w/ one of hard drives), it might have been Chris Watson or Bernie Krause, I'm not sure, of a close miked zebra carcass being attacked by flies, and vultures etc in the Serengeti. |

Insects are important. Even mosquitos! | |

Fri. 6/21/13 5:33pm
northguineahills:
well, I just got bit by a mosquito, the hell! Since the restaurant closed downstairs, they left some buckets that have become breeding grounds for mosquitos. I need to enlist my neighbor to help me go down the fire escape so I can turn over the buckets, and lower the ladder so I can get back up. |

Never heard of this Colin L Orchestra, reminds me of Porter Ricks or Basic Channel. |

![]() Have 2 mosquito bites on the sole of my foot. Fine now, but itch like hell when I put shoes and socks on. Not as bad as the bite on my arm, though. A few days ago, that bite was big and covered in vesicles. Now it's crusted over. Ugh. |

Mosquitoes:
Drill, baby, drill. |

Fri. 6/21/13 5:41pm
northguineahills:
Same here, I have one on my Achilles, and one on my heel. I usually don't swell, but these bites are very swollen (and I don't scratch). I usually don't get bitten in NYC, as mosquitoes find me less palatable then those around me. |
![]() |
![]() Yikes. Made it for the last 15. Hiya Koit, and howdy payday peeps. |
![]() |
![]() Speaking of beersies, had a wee bit of the 25th Anniversary IPA at the boozer. Feelin' it today, but some Hair of the Dog should right my ship. |
![]() |
![]() @ngh: unfortunately, I'm one of those people mosquitoes seem to find delicious. Which is not a good combo with my mosquito allergy. |
![]() |
![]() Here's a half hour piece for string quartet, electric guitar and insect chorus that isn't making it in today. Give it a listen! soundcloud.com... |
![]() |
![]() I watched the YT video for this, and all I could think of was "if I was letting cockroaches crawl all over me, I'd be damn sure to wear some underwear". |
Fri. 6/21/13 5:50pm
Fredericks:
Are these the hissing cockroaches, Kurt? | |
![]() |
![]() i believe so, fredericks. |
![]() |
![]() here's the video: www.youtube.com... |
Fri. 6/21/13 5:53pm
Fredericks:
I know these aren't cockroaches. I took too long to post. Toothpaste and/or ammonia for mosquito bites work for me. | |
![]() |
![]() i think they're also called 'madagascar beetles' could be a translation issue. or i could be wrong. |
Fri. 6/21/13 5:54pm
Fredericks:
That's the one! Thanks, Kurt. | |

![]() here's another masaoka piece, this one with bees: www.youtube.com... |

![]() cheri!: fruit flies! hate hate hate 'em. DCE: Ants don't like chalky or powdery stuff - they have to go around it - which likely doesn't help much... - I gather (??) there are three main species of cicada - each w/ a different noise. |
