"Anopheles mosquito".

in #nature7 years ago

Probably all were met by a huge mosquito. And, in horror, tried to kill him.

He was called in everyday life. "Anopheles mosquito".
In fact it is not so. This mosquito is completely harmless.

Malarial mosquitoes do exist. But at first glance you can hardly distinguish from ordinary.
They have longer hind legs and jointed tentacles located near the proboscis.

And this huge mosquito does not feed on blood. The real name of these insects — mosquitoes - crane flies or caramori.

They feed on nectar or do not feed at all, because their main task is to lay eggs.

So do not be afraid of them and kill.Better just not to pay attention.
If it flew to you ,let it go quietly into the wild!
