20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Blood donation
During a fieldtrip i realized there was a mosquito starting to suck my blood from the left arm. Instead of giving in to my first reflex, i decided to donate a few drops and saw an opportunity for an interesting capture. The otherwise short and thin hairs from my arm let the mosquito appear gigantic.
