SEM of male mosquito
Mosquito. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an unidentified male mosquito (family Culicidae). Its large compound eyes (cyan) can be seen at upper left. Its feathery antennae protrude from below them, with its long legs (brown, lower left) and wings (green) also seen. The males antennae are bushier than those of the females as they are used to detect mates by the precise frequency of their wingbeats. Mosquitoes feed using a proboscis (not clearly seen). Only the female mosquitoes feed on blood, the males feeding plant juices such as nectar. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a male mosquito, belonging to the Culicidae family. The vibrant colors and high magnification reveal its fascinating features. At the upper left, we can observe its large compound eyes in a striking cyan hue, which play a crucial role in navigation and locating potential mates. Below them, feathery antennae protrude gracefully, distinguishing this male specimen from its female counterparts. The image also captures the long legs of the mosquito in rich brown tones and its delicate wings adorned with shades of green. Notably, the bushier antennae are an essential tool for males as they use them to detect potential partners through precise wingbeat frequencies. While not clearly visible in this print, mosquitoes feed using their proboscis. However, it is important to note that only female mosquitoes require blood meals for reproduction purposes; males primarily sustain themselves by feeding on plant juices like nectar. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into the mesmerizing world of these tiny creatures while highlighting their unique characteristics. It serves as a reminder of nature's remarkable diversity and complexity within even seemingly ordinary species such as mosquitoes.
