Mosquitos

[Stacey]

Well my project is nearly finished and I have to say I have yet to see a macro of a mosquito. After watching the opening credits of Dexter time and again, the close up of the mosquito sucking his blood always triggers the thought 'that would make a great photo'
I am sure some of you must have a pic like this...and if not I challenge you to get one. I would try myself, but I don't have a macro lens and it is the middle of winter. Indulge me please.

Got a couple but there not sucking blood.

I only had my point and shoot, but this was the before ...



And the after!

Cool beans, Al! @hollandcrew

[Kass]

Can you believe I found one in the snow?! Crazy weather - crazy nature. ;)

[Aaron]

I took this one a couple of years ago (not part of my 365 project):

@hollandcrew mosquitos look beautiful in your photos!

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

I have some of one on me, like Aaron's, but never put it on here... will go searching and upload if I find it. Clearly I really need to organise my shots differently.

I won't get that close to the little monkies. They think I'm spare rib.

@archaeofrog Oh Katie *cringe*

[Laura]

Thankfully we don't get mosquitos - we have midges though but not until the summer and have never taken photos of them.

[Stacey]

@hollandcrew I have to say, you make mosquitoes look lovely!
@archaeofrog Oooh that does not look pleasant!

[Stacey]

@russianblue How bizzare, but a cool shot!

[Stacey]

@grizzlysghost Yup, looks a little too close for comfort...I bet you wanted to smack it before it took all your blood.

[Stacey]

@amyamoeba Smart.

[Jim]

No macro lens involved here, just a lucky closeup on the window

[Stacey]

@jcarrollphoto Gosh they are ugly little critters...they look like bloodsuckers that's for sure.

[Al Bailey]

**shudders** .... these little b'stards put me in hospital a couple of years ago!

Won't be any macro's of them from me unless I am in a full body suit or said mossie is already deceased!
