Here’s an interesting mural sent in by a reader, but what does it show? What and where is it? Why might it have relevance this week? Send your name, hometown and guess to: feedback@statehousereport.com.
Last week’s mystery, “Buzz buzz,” showed a sculpture somewhere in South Carolina. It’s a metal mosquito at the entrance of Mosquito Beach along Sol Legare Road on James Island.
When asked of the relevance of the sign, Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, hit the nail on the head: “On the surface, one might consider this to be relevant today since mosquito season is officially underway in the Charleston area, and usually lasts from between April to October. But the ‘real’ reason for asking the question of … stems from the fact that the surfboard sign [in the background] in the mystery photo was recently reported as stolen, having last been seen on April 4, 2024.” It was quickly recovered and is now back in place.

Hats off to the other sleuths who solved the mystery: Elizabeth Jones and Jay Altman, both of Columbia; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; Frank Bouknight of Summerville; and Cheryl Graham of Dorchester County. Pat Keadle of Perry gets bonus points, too, for noting the sculpture was in a North Charleston competition.
