Tiny mosquito(Mycomyia sp)

Krister, funny to see the title 'Tiny' mosquito. It's so HUGE!! What is it sitting on? Very colorful. A great macro shot as usual. BTW, can you help me identify this insect? Thanks!

Oh a definite "must view large". Just a stunning shot Krister...now were done...swat!... scared to visit your port i always run outta 7's here haha. Extremely well done. 7/7

This looks like a culex species...but where is the proboscis and palps. This coming from a entomologist by trade..and photo hobbyist. Very interested in this for a scientific point of view.

Lovely picutre though.

Damn... Im not a macro kinda guy, but this kicks serious ass...

Great sharpness for such high magnification.

I think this photo shows the meaning of DOF - Depth Of Field - Cant get enough of it...!

Tact sharp and lovely composition

always amaze by your macro shots ! sharp !

Jerry: This one is sitting on a birk tree but usually they sit on spider webs.

 

Dustin: This is a Mycomyia sp mosquito, I do not know the species. They feed on fungus and there are a lot of unknown species in this family. For all members of this family the proboscis is missing.
