This is one of the real challenges that we will face when entering a plantation or entering a forest, namely mosquito bites. This is indeed something that cannot be avoided, especially those who live in tropical areas, mosquitoes really like dirty and damp places, for example, in riverbanks or in dense forests. I feel it almost every day because my job as a farmer requires me to go into the plantation every day, mosquito bites have become a common thing for me, but it's different when the rainy season arrives. During the rainy season, the mosquito population will increase and it will make us annoyed and angry, actually there are several effective ways to avoid mosquito bites, namely applying mosquito repellent or burning mosquito coils, but each drug has its own risks such as irritated skin or several other risks.

The mosquito I photographed was one that had bitten me. I swatted it but didn't kill it. It was still intact and relatively large, which made me interested in photographing it. I photographed it while it was still on my arm, and here are some pictures.
