Orange doesn't go well with my blue avatar...

[Incredirobotwars]

Then change your avatar. It's not like you have anything else to do at the moment. ;P

[NFX]

And an advance congratulations to NFX for becoming Tournament Moderator.

Do not count your chickens and so forth. You could end up with turtles. They can't fly, and they get stuck on their back.
 
Also, SM could change his avatar to a very slightly different shade of blue to better match his new orange name. =P
 
EDIT: Ah, there we go. =) Time to get to work.

[Incredirobotwars]

Photoshop it to a yellow-ier shade.

[madman3]

Have fun, NFX.
But since Inf is gone and Nary's global mod, is there another showcase moderator position?

There's nothing wrong with counting my unhatched chickens if the eggs are already cracking open. >:D

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Better?

[Incredirobotwars]

Awesome.

[NFX]

Better?

HOLY CRAP HE'S ON FIRE.

I second this. :P

Now for something completely different...

I opened my windows for a few hours, and as it was night, a load of various flying insects entered, attracted by the light.

While they stay mostly next to the light (i'm guessing they store thermal energy since they are cold blooded), sometimes they go annoy you and fly into your face. Since none of these are harmful, they're all fine with me.

Seems to be mostly flies and related species (Diptera), some things that look like vinegar flies. with the obligatory moths of course. Amusingly, not a single mosquito, or at least I don't hear it. I seem to be seeing some tiny beetles but I'm not sure.

And now some large crane fly startled the sh** out of me.

There's also a large winged insect, mostly cream-colored with a very thin and long body as well as wings,  and I have no idea what it is, I can't even put an order on it. I doubt many people besides Clickbeetle have a general knowledge of insects as good as or better than mine, but maybe I'll put a pic

Also there still must be a Tegenaria spider somewhere in the room, it was running yesterday evening. And of course, the classic houseflies and the ever-common Pholcidae spiders.

Nary, you have made me very cross indeed with your rampant profile-changing. I am disappoint.

Serves you right for being French.
 
I hope they clear up soon, though. That's part of the reason I tend not to leave my window open, <expletive> flies in and irritates me until I kill it with my shoe.

Argh, I know the feeling. It's ridiculous how Flies can get in through the tiniest spaces, yet at the same time, they're too dumb to fly out of an open window.

[Incredirobotwars]

I tend not to open my window at all. I had it open today, because I was hot as hell, and wanted to take a few pictures of the farm, but apart from that, I want to avoid insects at all times. Especially spiders. And crane flies. Anything with long, dangly legs.

Last week, I was woken up at least three times by birds flying into my window. At 6am. When my curtains were closed. Some animals can be thick as hell.

I just spray my house with herbicides and bam no moar pests.
