- This is just a question for myself. Is the abdomen of the mosquito only the brown thin or is it transparent and continues until the shinny part?

- In the abdomen, that line of little bright dots. Are those hairs or is it that the abdomen is transparent and that's the end of i? franklin 14:12, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
- They are hairs, usually a sign of a male mosquito -- 196.45.152.109 ( talk) 09:22, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

- Support. Awesome shot for such a tiny little thing, I like the angle and framing. Shame we don't have a species ID, but I guess you'd have to really know you stuff to identify more precisely.

- The entomologist required more than just a picture to id the mosquito. Tricky subject + little research + taken in a remote forest = very hard to id ;-) -- Muhammad (talk) 14:37, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

- Support: Good. The bristles look great! Would you consider getting rid of the white out of focus circle, top right near the critter's leg joint? Please? In the article's taxobox, it seems disproportionately prominent. I'd try myself, but I wouldn't have a clue how to fix it, :)
