Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are as thick as I have ever seen them, a fact which was brought home to me when I stood still for an extended period of time photographing an eastern chipmunk. The chipmunk had moments of stillness as well, and was equally plagued by mosquitoes. There were often clouds of these insects around both of our heads, but in this photographic sequence, you can watch one lone mosquito (near one of the chipmunk’s ears) fill up with the chipmunk’s blood. While male mosquitoes feed on nectar, females feed on both nectar and blood. After the female mosquito digests the blood, her eggs develop and she lays them in still bodies of water, after which she searches for another source of blood.
