Description
Yet in the garden is nothing going on, I know, but I went looking for something to capture. Just like always to look for distractions, and to be outside.
And behold, I spotted a tiny mosquito, so: Voilà!
The size? I guess 6 à 7 millimetres.
Dear friends, thank you very much for your lovely comments on my earlier uploads.
BTW, I guess zoom is better, because I show so much of the leaf on which perched the mosquito; this because of the hairs that are to be seen.
Ha, ha, not on the mosquito, but under the leaf. ;-)

Wow! This is an amazing shot!
Een natuurliefhebster vind wel altijd iets moois om te fotograferen !!
Super macro, Jacomina. Fantastic, this tiny head is connected with just a thin "string" to the big body and wings, dont you think so? :)
Superb clarity and sharpness Jacomina - excellent photography.
Fabulous capture, Andrea! Full view is a must - just glad that those critters are as big as the photo
Beautiful capture Jacomina. I also like the little hairs on the bottom of the leaf.
Zoom is astonishing!
Hij staat wel hoog op de pootjes,maar Prachtig gefotografeerd Mies.

Cool shot, I love those hairy mosquitoes...LOL
Amazing macro shot of its long hairy legs Mies.
I am allergic to mosquito bites.
Thanks for sharing, magnificent camera work.
Superb capture Mies. God bless.
haarscherp !! toppie !
Prachtig en scherpe foto.
fine work
Superb macro shot
I zoom everything, as it's the way the artist created the image, so I always view in 'full size'. Yes, the hairs under the leaf are stunning. They almost look like icicles, on the right. And you caught the long spindly legs of the mosquito: The mosquito is so sleek and tall, compared to the long flat surface of the leaf. Fine macro photography, Jacomina.
