This close-up photograph shows an Anopheles minimus mosquito, a malaria vector of the Orient, as she was feeding on a human host. Note the blood meal that this mosquito had ingested, as it collected inside its stomach within its abdominal segment, extracting it from the host though its proboscis, which it had used to penetrate the skin, much like a straw.Created: 2005

This close-up 2005 photograph shows an Anopheles minimus, a malaria vector of the Orient mosquito, from a lateral perspective as she was feeding on a human host. Note the blood meal that this mosquito had ingested, as it collected inside its stomach within its abdominal segment, extracting it from the host though its proboscis, which it had used to penetrate the skin, much like a straw.Created: 2005

This female Anopheles freeborni is taking a blood meal from a human host by pumping the ingested blood through her labrum, which is visible here as a thin red, needle-like structure between the mosquitos head and the hosts skin.Created: 2004

Magnified 405x, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed the ornately festooned tip of an Anopheles gambiae mosquito's proboscis. Seen in the field of view is actually the sheath that covered the pair of the needle-sharp "stylets", which together are known as the "fascicle". The larger of the two stylets, known as the "labrum", when viewed in cross-section, takes on the shape of a "V", and acts as a gutter, which directs the ingested host blood towards the insect's mouth.Created: 2006
