Aedes albopictus

Also known as the Asian Tiger Mosquito.

Everyone hates mosquitoes. I sacrificed some blood to get some shots of them.

Yes, I'm crazy.

This one was definitely the best of the three, you managed to grab the mosquito as the subject matter to focus on instead of the strands of brillo pad ;D

Yeah, it's all in the angle.

Hey wait a minute...brillo pad? :(

Lol, in the close up only, one of the hairs in another shot looked like a strand of wire, but it's just from the zoom

I don't hate them. Usually they know better than to annoy me. I like the sound they make, nothing can make you more scared, not even the shriek of an oncoming missile... nothing is more horrifying and irritating than the sound of a mosquito. :P

If there's one being on earth really can't stand, it's THEM! Mosquitoes!!!

<.< I don't care about the blood, they can have it. But that high tone they make when flying close...o__@;; ...totally drives me nuts!

I hear that from a lot of people. Maybe it's ingrained in our brain to hate that sound as a survival mechanism.

I love mosquitoes, but weren't you afraid of contracting encephalitis or something? :c

I get bitten by mosquitoes every time I go outside.

It just so happened I had a camera this time.

If I were afraid of mosquito transmitted disease, I'd never leave the house. :/
