Night shift v Day shift

This meme uses edited macro photography of two common pest insects to depict a shift handover between night and day shift workers. On the left, a mosquito is labeled with the 18:00 to 06:00 (6PM to 6AM) time slot, representing the night shift, as mosquitoes are primarily active during nighttime hours. On the right, a house fly is labeled with the 06:00 to 18:00 (6AM to 6PM) time slot, representing the day shift, as flies are active during the day. The two insects are edited to appear as if they are shaking hands while completing a shift handoff, humorously implying that these pests coordinate to annoy humans 24 hours a day with no gaps in coverage.
