Mosquito - full
You know you are a photo junkie when, stung by a mosquito, your instinct is to photograph it, not squish it.
Now if only the stupid insect had gone after my left hand instead of my right, I'd have been able to take a better picture. Maybe some other time.
------
This is by far my most circulated photo. It's all over the web, usually as an illustration to articles about mosquito-related issues. I think that's pretty neat, and most of them give proper credit, but a lot of them don't.
So here's a reminder: You can post this photo just about anywhere, provided you don't make a profit from it, and my name goes next to the photo. Ideally, have the picture be a link back to this page. You may crop the image to make it better fit your page. You may not add a watermark. You may not pretend it is your intellectual property, because it's mine. It's that simple.
