Anopheles gambiae Mosquito, Malaria Vector

Lateral view of a feeding female Anopheles gambiae mosquito. This specimen had landed on a human skin surface, and was in the process of obtaining its blood meal through its sharp, needle-like labrum, which it had inserted into its human host. Note the red color of the labrum, as it was filled with blood, and the bright-red abdomen that had become enlarged due to its blood meal contents. You can also see a droplet of blood that was being expelled from the distal tip of its abdomen. A. gambiae is a known vector for the parasitic disease malaria.
