Feeding mosquito. Macrophotograph of a Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito feeding. The female mosquito feeds on the blood of vertebrates,including humans,piercing the skin and sucking the blood through her proboscis (seen here between her front legs). She uses the blood meal for the production of her eggs. C. quinquefasciatus is a vector for several arboviruses which cause disease in humans. Magnification unknown | |
