Caption:
Captured in West Covina, California on September 13, 2018, this image depicted a close, right lateral view of a female, Aedes albopictus mosquito, as she was obtaining her blood meal through the skin of her host. Note the blood filled, red colored fascicle, transferring the blood to the mosquito’s mouth much like a sharp straw.
