Feeding time

A quick look at how the Asian Tiger Mosquito feeds.

 

Excuse the terrible focus, my phones screen was under the sunlight, which made it difficult to see if I was in focus or not.

 

Notice how the abdomen grows. I only wish I had got my gear out faster to show the difference in size before and after the feed. I recon that the mosquito fed at least 10 times its own weight, pretty incredible!!

 

Taken with my phone + a DIY lens.
