oh, thank you FaredinAliyevski, this photo is easy. eos kiss x5+sigma 50mm+flash light, f16 1/60 manual mode, 1/1(max). move camera forward/back to focus subject. only this way. :)) and mosquito.. I'm not good at english, I agree with it, this doesn't bite. I checked midge. it's a fly? this insect is Culicidae-Chironomidae-Chironominae, Culicidae is mosquito? hmm.. complicated..

Amazing photo but it's not a mosquito. This doesn't bite, it's a midge.
