First attempt to capture a Macro Shot using Reverse Lens Technique !
i never had a reverse ring adapter with me, clicked it while holding the lens with one hand.
very hard to get the object in focus , but i love macro photography..requires lots of patience.. need to do experiments ..
Mosquito larva | Mosquito head and mouthpart | Mosquito head
Today in university, we had a tropical medicine lab on the subject of entomology. It's such an interesting topic, that I thought I'd share my photos here on Flickr. One of the main things we did today was study mosquitoes. All the photos are mosquitoes of the genus Culex (most probably Culex pipiens, but I can't be 100% sure).
In this photo is the larva of the Culex mosquito. It can be differentiated from other mosquitoes (Anopheles and Aedes) because it has a breathing tube (unlike the Anopheles mosquito) which is long and narrow (unlike the Aedes mosquito, which has a short breathing tube).
The recommendation to wear long pants can be difficult for some people to accept when during hot summers. Net clothing can be a suitable substitute that can protect against ticks, mosquitoes, and biting flies. For biting flies, you will need a head net.

Mosquito on the water - assume this had recently emerged rather than egg-laying. Focus stacked using zerene stacker.
I'm squeezing this one in there because I'm still in disbelief. Yesterday's outing took me to the salty wetlands on the San Francisco Bay. Apparently, they had decided to spray against mosquitoes at low tide, so these guys were out there in their cool machines (I really liked these terrain going vehicles). There were three of them and they were all spraying different colors - this was the "green" guy as you can tell from the stains on his vehicle. However, the smell around the area was extremely unpleasant and yet this guy wasn't even wearing a mask. How he could stand it is beyond me. I was certainly having problems with the gagging. I didn't get close enough to the other two sprayers to see if they were wearing masks.
Anyway, this shot is straight out of the camera - no crop, no adjustments, no nada ;-). I like it as it is so thought I'd share it - hope they got those West Nile Virus carrying buggers.
All my shots on FLUIDR
maybe this shot is not very expectacular but is one of my favorites. i was trying to catch some butterflies wich were feeding on the sidewalk near home when i saw this little mosquito blowing some nectar.Then suddenly an enourmous butterfly chose the some flower to eat some nectar, and after some movements, they both found its place to feed together and receive a little of life as brothers.
I felt this was the way in wich we could share the world with other species and with other persons in our place, our land, our planet. Maybe there are many flowers as planets in the universe. But we only have "the flower" "our flower" wich is unique, like the flower of the petit prince.
Para este evento de la Semana de acción contra los mosquitos estuvieron presentes en el lanzamiento oficial el representante de la OPS/Argentina y autoridades de gobierno, en donde se ha desarrollado diversas actividades dirigido a los niños y familias, tales como juegos didácticos acerca de los criaderos de mosquitos, ademas varios actores escenificaron a mosquitos de una manera dinamica y educativa.

This mosquito was about to suck my blood when I was shooting for a rose. Also never seen them this color before....
I did some research: Tiger Mosquito
Adults are known as tiger mosquitoes due to their conspicuous patterns of very black bodies with white stripes. Also, there is a distinctive single white band (stripe) down the length of the back. The body length is about 3/16-inch long. Like all adult mosquitoes, Asian tiger mosquitoes are small, fragile insects with slender bodies, one pair of narrow wings (tiny scales are attached to wing veins), and three pairs of long, slender legs. They have an elongate proboscis (beak) with which the female bites and feeds on blood, while males feed only on plant nectar. Eggs are elongate, usually 1/40-inch long, and dark brown to black near hatching. Larvae (wigglers) are filter feeders that move with an S-shaped motion. Pupae (tumblers) are comma-shaped, appearing to tumble through the water when disturbed.

Yay for biology/science!

after stupidly falling asleep on the balcony and getting covered in bites i wisely ask at reception for a net to protect me from the mossies in future
