Bugs at the Danish Haven: an earwig, a mosquito (?).

I was sitting at home yesterday on my dark green 1950s sectional and basking in the soft natural light of my upright IKEA crepe lamp when I saw an earwig skitter across the crisp, natural-fiber pattern of my hemp-and-dark-brown-thread IKEA rug. I killed it with a swift hit from my H&M palm-fiber-and-cheap-foam house sandal.

Later, I got up from my dark green 1950s sectional and felt a very pointed itching in the center of my right buttock. I didn't look in the mirror, but I think it's a mosquito bite, somehow mysteriously acquired while I was sitting there reading.
