This is a reason why I sometimes don't like going to the garden during the rainy season, usually I will meet mosquitoes in the morning and at night, but when the rainy season arrives the mosquito population increases and it is very annoying because mosquitoes will still be there even during the day. There is a small mosquito perched on my hand, as we can see, he is sucking my blood but this is an opportunity for me to photograph it because at that time I was holding a macro lens. This is an easy thing to do because mosquitoes are not as fast as flies, I tried to photograph this mosquito from various different angles and I succeeded in doing it. By using the help of a macro lens I also managed to capture the beauty of this mosquito well, even though its size is very small but we can still see the shape, color and size clearly.

Okay friends, now I will share some pictures of this mosquito here.

That looks like the species which spreads dengue fever. I would be absolutely hysterical if I found it feeding on me...

The mosquito sucked my blood when I tried to take a picture of it😄
