Found two dozen mosquito egg rafts in the mini-pond today. All Culex, I think, and all oviposited overnight. I really need to set up a camera trap to record them in the act. #pond #diptera #mosquitoes #culex #culicidae #water #biology

An Elephant Mosquito (genus Toxorhynchites) spotted at Windsor Nature Park, Singapore on 8 Feb 2025. These large forest mosquitoes are not blood-suckers. And their larvae feed on other mosquito larvae (like those of Aedes aegypti), so they are considered a beneficial species.

A mosquito, gathering a blood meal from a knuckle of the hand that wasn't holding the camera. I admire her white tufts and bristly antennae.

I like all flies, but some are less favorite than others. Here's a perfectly adequate treehole mosquito on my hand.
