Слика од Culex tarsalis Coquillett 1896

Опис:

This 2005 photograph depicted a close-up view of a Culex tarsalis mosquito as it was about to begin feeding, after having landed on the skin of what will become its human host. Note the light-colored band wrapped around its dark-scaled proboscis (A), and the multiple similarly light-colored bands wrapped around its distal appendages, i.e., the tibia and femur, of its forelegs and middle pair of legs (B), identifying this as C. tarsalis.
