Mosquito and Lily of the Valley


Mosquito and Lily of the Valley
Originally uploaded by jiihaa

A mosquito is hanging from a Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis),
the national flower of Finland. The berries are raw - and poisonous,
as is the whole plant. Early this summer there were few mosquitoes,
but now - thanks to rainy days - the situation has normalized.
