Friends, do you know that the female mosquito is the most dangerous insect ? Have you ever seen her at close quarters ? You can see the head and the proboscis of the mosquito here as a macro shot. The head consists of two compound eyes (compounded with thousands of small lenses) and the proboscis with which it punches the skin. And she looks really beautiful with a golden attire and colourful limbs. Is it true that beauty and danger co-exist ?
