Un-welcome visitors to my garden

[Graft]

Not unwelcome. But my dog! a Lab / Newfoundland cross, 6 months old, 33kg (73lbs). Has eaten or destroyed so far, a Bag of Kanuma, 2 Bags of sphagnum Moss, A bag of akadama, my overwintering portable greenhouse (replaced with a polycarbonate one), many saplings, plant pots, chewed and de-potted my native tree comp oak. Knocked over numerous other trees. But I still love him.....

Sitting here at my desk this chilly, snowy morning and a mosquito flies by. It came back for a second pass and I got him...her?

If it tries to bite you it is definitely a her.

Looks similar to the damage robins repeatedly did to the top layer of sphagnum moss on my newly potted limber pine. I finally had to put shade cloth on it to stop them from either taking it for a nest or looking for bugs.
