Finally found you guys, lurked for a while and now thought I'd start posting. As my inaugural image I'm posting this biting mosquito. Some of you may recognize this shot. It was the first image I used from some "other" photo posting site a few years back.

Taken with a Nikon FM2, Nikkor 105mm micro, lots of extension, 3T and 4T diopter, manual flash, and Fugi Velvia.

Ouch

This is really biting into the scene Bryan Welcome.

A Very neat image one that many of us would not take the time to see as we tend to swat first. Who is your model??I don't think the wife would allow me use her arm. :roll:

Very cool shot, look at that blood building up, pretty wild! I wonder what our blood actually does for these guys, anyone know?

Wow, what a shot!! We could use it on our TONS of encephalitis literature that floats around all summer.

An interesting and scary shot with West Nile Virus making its way through Arizona right now.

I'm itching just looking at this shot. Blood's a big bonus. Look's like this gal just about has a full tank.

Great shot- one that we can all relate to! Hope you didn't have to try too many exposures to get it right.

The female mosquitoes are, as most people know, are the ones that seek the blood meal. The guys are satified with stuff like pollen. The protien in the bloods helps them to lay a larger number of eggs that yeild stronger larva.
