mosquito biting- # 1 - Ochlerotatus triseriatus - Female
Baiting Hollow, Suffolk County, New York, USA
September 3, 2009
This is a series of 3 photos of a mosquito biting (me).
It was interesting watching the abdomen fill up ... reminded me of filling a gas tank.
From the first picture to the third it took about 1 minute. Unfortunately the camera does not record seconds.
It was a very stealthy mosquito. I didn't feel the bite or have a raised itchy wheal.
