An elegant, and benevolent, mosquito
Descrission:
Toxorhynchites rutilus, called "Elephant Mosquito" for its size (circa 7 mm body length) and recurved snout. This is a male, indicated by the feathery antennae. Neither males nor females bite--they both take plant juices. In a further bit of beneveolence, the larvae of this species prey upon those of other mosquitoes!P.S. Happy "Friday Fly Day"!
