Mosquito MicroArt

© 2015 DinaripperCreations "Mosquito Wing"
Wow, this took me all afternoon and I wasn't sure if it would turn out, but it did!

I'm amazed by how beautiful this is.  It looks like a watercolor.  You must click on the image to get a closer look.

When I was working on this (all 95 photos!) I observed that the veins/hairs in the wings looked like rosemary.  Yes, the herb.  The little feathery eyelash-like hairs on the edges of the wing was a big surprise too.  This does explain why mosquitoes are so annoying with their amazing flying skills.

Even horrible blood suckers such as these can be beautiful in their own way.  Mother Nature is really a neat gal.
