    Sugian, is this your skin? I thought they were pretty dangerous, able to transmit disease? Posted 5 years ago

      Yes indeed. I was shooting some photographs of insects when those guys suddenly suck my blood in the left hand. I took some shots of them before smacking down. Posted 5 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.
