Macrophoto of malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae
Malaria mosquito. Macrophotograph of an Anopheles gambiae mosquito on a leaf. Female Anopheles mosquitoes transmit malaria whilst taking blood meals from humans. The parasite responsible for malaria (Plasmodium) is carried in the female mosquitos saliva. Female mosquitoes have a long proboscis (at lower centre) adapted for piercing human skin to suck blood. They have compound eyes (blue/yellow) which have many facets. Malaria is a major health problem and a killer disease in Africa, Asia and South America. Magnification: x4 at 35mm size

The female Anopheles mosquitoes are notorious for transmitting malaria to humans while feeding on their blood. This deadly disease is caused by the Plasmodium parasite, which resides in the saliva of these female mosquitos. The photograph showcases the long proboscis of the mosquito, perfectly adapted for piercing human skin and extracting blood. Its compound eyes, beautifully depicted in shades of blue and yellow, are composed of numerous facets that allow it to perceive its surroundings with great precision. Malaria remains a significant health concern and a devastating killer disease across Africa, Asia, and South America.
