Summary

Description
English: This image depicts a lateral view of a feeding female Anopheles farauti mosquito, which 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 reddish color of the thin labrum, as it was filled with blood, and the red abdomen, enlarged due to its blood meal contents. A. farauti is a known vector for the parasitic disease malaria.
