I designed this back in August 2009, for a challenge (http://www.flickr.com/groups/750405@N23/discuss/72157619882089287/).
But I folded it just some days ago...
I wanted my mosquito having REALLY LOOONG legs, just as real ones. But it also means having the middle parts becoming too thick...

Refolded my Mosquito today with Kraft paper from Origami-Shop.
Although Kraft might not be the perfect paper for boxpleating i decided to give it a try with my Mosquito. I made the body more compact and adjusted the position of the legs so they are all next to each other. Still had to use some tape at the head because the layers get so damn thick.
Mosquito, He or she was on the outside of the double glazing, probably eyeing me up for the next meal.
De Havilland Mosquito TT.35 TA719 at Duxford in August 1986. The photo below shows it after restoration.
Hey, macro photography isn't just for the 'pretty' insects :))
And speaking of pretty, I think for a common mosquito, this individual above is quite attractive actually! Who knew they had this kind of 'designer' patterns covering that blood-sucking body... And the eye-- blue?? Really? Maybe it was the particular way the light was hitting the eyes and reflecting onto my camera sensor, I don't know. I did enhance the blue a bit so we could see that color more clearly...
It was perched nicely on this Black-eyed Susan petal, which was garishly gold, and which I desaturated quite a lot to the pleasing hue you see above...
Check out that long proboscis sticking straight out from its mouth-- commonly know as its stinger-- Yikes.
No way this one can suck your blood, so ENJOY its portrait!
De Havilland Mosquito T3 TW117 in the Bomber Command Hall at the Royal Air Force Museum, Hendon in December 1983.
The most difficult part to build on this model were the engine nacelles. On the real aircraft they are quite slender, but they also had to house the undercarriage, which is retractable as usual with my aircraft models.

The title says it all - never go to the Pine river at dusk without a long shirt and mosquito repellent. Don't know what I was thinking.
The sky was totally devoid of clouds this afternoon, which makes for a fairly dull background. There are a few interesting locations around here though, so shall try again. This time with the RID.
Seeing this beautiful light when I was walking in the park 2 days ago blew my mind... mosquito bokeh? Well this was the first time I saw that :) *click*
... I love this lens :)
