This female specimen showcases its intricate internal anatomy as it prepares to feast on blood from our skin. A side view of the black fly, Simulium sp. , reveals its slender body and delicate wings. These pesky insects are known for their painful bites and can be found near bodies of water. Another side view captures the gracefulness of a mosquito (Culicidae) in flight. Its elongated legs and proboscis perfectly adapted for sucking blood make it an expert at finding its next meal. An illustration beautifully depicts the intricate details of a mosquito (Culicidae). From its compound eyes to its segmented abdomen, this insect is a marvel of nature's design. Witness the galls created by gall midge larvae (Mikiola fagi) on leaves of common beech trees (Fagus sylvatica). These peculiar growths serve as protective homes for these tiny insects during their development stages. In an enchanting scene, a male beautiful demoiselle dragonfly (Calopteryx virgo) shares space with a hungry mosquito (Culicidae) on reeds in Germany's Ummendorfer Ried reserve. Nature's delicate balance unfolds before our eyes.
