I think this kind of mosquito is not dangerous to man.

Fine delle zanzare
L'estate porta le zanzare.. che possano finire divorate da queste piante speciali... :D

Brutality against mosquitoes in Cochin.
Special correspondent
Cochin was earlier known as Queen of the Arabian Sea when humans were under control of the city. Recently with the help of a special agency called GCDA who specializes in cultivating, training and building intelligent living spaces for mosquitos the city was successfully handed over to mosquitoes. Even today the corporation, GCDA, health department, tourism department, IT department etc try to attract humans both desi, NRI, NRK, foreigners etc by various means. Recently the IT department played major role by attracting well fed, educated engineers with extra large bellies from various parts of the country and they are mostly allotted in certain areas like kakkanad where mosquitoes from other areas given access restricted by weekly passes. Government is planning other special areas like smart city to increase the comfort levels of mosquitoes.
Tourism department organizes special programs in association with GCDA and Cochin corporation to attract foreign crowd. This ensures that mosquitoes are fed with blood belonging to various human races.
In addition to the existing canals and marsh lands GCDA and corporation is working on elaborate plans to create poth holes across the roads which will enable more mosquitoes to breed every year.
But the recent times the human population in Cochin has become increasingly intolerant towards our fellow mosquitoes. They accuse mosquitoes of causing discomfort and itching after they are provided with meals. Innocent mosquito population in Cochin are also accused of causing minor problems like death, long term illness like ChickenKuniya, dengi etc. They comfortably ignore the fact that ChikenKuniya is caused by over consumption of Chicken and minor problems like death are caused by natural spiritual causes which completely non-related to mosquitoes and their diet habits.
The government also noticed that humans are killing mosquitoes using brutal methods like electrified bats, certain poisonous liquids etc. Al-Out is believed to provide the Cochin population with liquids with extra MMR. Other outfits like Gud-NeT also believed to operate distribution chains in the Cochin area. Its a irony that the same humans were protesting against killings of couple of hundreds of humans or economic down turn.
A little known outfit believed to be operating out of country with a 'wall' is illegaly distributing deadly equipments resembling to tennis rackets. These weapons are charged from 230V A/C power consuming electric power and then used to kill mosquitoes.
This correspondent witnessed certain inhabitants of the city killing innocent mosquitoes with these deadly weapons. The poor mosquitoes are first lured close humans and then they are struck with electrified bats causing to blast into tiny pieces.
One inhabitant who calls himself "Intruder" said that more than killing the mosquitoes he enjoy the sound of them exploding !! He claims those deaths give him peace of mind.
This correspondent who had successfully reported the attack in Mumbai and increased the rating of TV channels never had such difficulty in reporting and selling the killing in Mumbai. But this is far too cruel than anything I have ever seen. The following photos and dead mosquitoes will give you a clear picture of brutality done against mosquitoes in Cochin. This high time for us to reach out and save the life innocent mosquitoes in this city.
I have provided AB+ type meal to few mosquitoes while making this report. Now this is your turn to act against this vandalism.
I was sitting at the lake "Noor" nearby my home town of Eckernförde during sunset after a hot and sunny summer day. I discovered a big swarm of mosquitos flying above the surface of the lake and captured the patterns produced by them through the back light.
We went out to shoot the Confederation Bridge with the hope of some color at sunset but for the little that did reveal itself, I was standing in the wrong place and it was nightfall before we knew it. I think I lost a pint of blood that night from the biggest swarm of blood thirsty PEI mosquitoes that I've ever come across.

Here's my contribution to the Battle Bugs theme at this year's Brickcon. A steampunk mosquito flame-thrower. I really, really hate mosquitoes, so this was kind of interesting to build. Facing my fears I guess. Now I should go build a huge fly swatter.
The actual Mosquito falls sets about 100 yards upstream of this false falls... but they were pretty cool nevertheless. Cause waterfalls... Also, the waterfall was nice, but THAT TREE and THAT MOSSY GROWTH. Booya!
Not everything is as bad as it may seem.
Toxorhynchites. My favourite mosquito of all. These are beneficial mosquitoes and are just lovely things to have around.
I’m still trying to get a decent shot, but they are very ‘skittish’ animals. They do not bite, and their larvae are predators of other mosquito larvae, so they are there to do you a favour. That long proboscis is to get into flowers. They are quite common if you have lots of bromeliads. Very beautiful little things.
The Mosquito Range in central Colorado is still showing some snow as we move into late June. The snow fence in the foreground got a good workout this past winter and spring, but the landscape has finally transformed from white to green.
In my collection, dark green Lego is quite rare. I have some bricks, some slopes, few plates (mainly 4x8 and 1x6) and a grand total of four 1x4 tiles. recreating the look of the camouflage pattern with these parts was pretty difficult, but I am happy with the overall look.
Mosquito (from the Portuguese meaning "small fly") is a common flying insect in the family Culicidae that is found around the world. There are about 3,500 species of mosquitoes. They have a pair of scaled wings, a pair of halteres, a slender body, and six long legs. The females of most mosquito species suck blood (hematophagy) from other animals, which has made them the deadliest disease vector known, killing millions of people over thousands of years and continuing to kill millions per year by the spread of infectious diseases.

This sign was posted on the side of a building near Houghton, Michigan. The mosquito population was pretty bad earlier this year but it is much better now. We all need a little more humor in our lives so I decided to post this.
