Mosquito?

[Bizzle90]

I brought my guy outside for the second time in a row today, he loves it out there!

I put him on a Arbour (fence kind of thing) and there is a climbing plant on it. He seemed to love climbing on it!

Anyways, he ended up eating a bug - I'm not sure what they're called, but pretty sure they are a type of mosquito.

Here is a link - 90% sure it's these things!

Should I be worried?

It is a mosquito, those are the males. they have the long legs.
females are the ones who bite us, the tiny ones.

as for safe, i would just keep an eye on him. since they do suck blood, its possible he could ingest bad blood (ie. from sick animal or person) but, if he seems ok, then everything is good.
its just always a good idea to watch them after they eat wild bugs.

Really? I never knew that. Sorry dont mean to hijack this thread.. But i assume their are a tooon more females than males. I rarely see the larger ones.
