I try see the beauty in all creatures but I happily killed this one, especially as it's stomach was engorged with my blood! Posted 6 years ago

Very nice addition to our mosquito category! Thank you for sharing, Stuart!

As for killing mosquitoes, I cannot help but do the same! They can drive a person mad! Posted 6 years ago

  My pleasure - in a weird kind of way, it was actually satisfying to see the creature that bit me during the night. Usually it's just a case of waking up and feeling the effects of the bite. Hopefully I won't contact Zika and have a shrunken head...time will tell. Posted 6 years ago

I hear bad stories about this species so in this case I really it's a different one! Posted 6 years ago

The Asian tiger mosquito

"Aedes albopictus" is a mosquito native to the tropical and subtropical areas of Southeast Asia; however, in the past few decades, this species has spread to many countries through the transport of goods and international travel. It is characterized by the white bands on its legs and body.
