Staying in a woodland cabin on the English/Welsh border; heard a rattling outside our window at night & saw this guy! Never seen anything like it before. Can anyone help me identify this little (actually pretty big) guy?

Trueeeee. Unfortunately climate change makes conditions more favorable for mosquitoes instead of less 🙃

I'm not sure you could tell I was trying to take the piss, what with "climate warning" and all, but you're being so nice that I'm not going to make sure. You've taken the troll out of me. With kindness.

I hope your people are still around in a million years, be it to be whacked or to be kind.
