Mosquito

This is the first mosquito I ever got in front of my lens. He was sitting in the shade on a nice sunny day, so I decided to use the (built-in) flash, which wasn't a great idea, because the lens was blocking the light from reaching the mosquito but made the top part of the photo very bright. Also the mosquito flew away right after the photo, I assume the flash scared him. I am quite happy with the outcome though, since the one and only photo I ever took of a mosquito is perfectly focused on the eyes, just like it should be.

Please zoom in for better details!

Wiki says:
The mosquitoes are a family of small, midge-like flies: the Culicidae. Although a few species are harmless or even useful to humanity, most are a nuisance because they suck blood from vertebrates, many of them attacking humans. In feeding on blood various species of mosquitoes transmit some of the most harmful human and livestock diseases. Some authorities argue accordingly that mosquitoes are the most dangerous animals on earth.
