Field Notes
Description:
It is one-inch long (bigger than a five Philippine Peso coin), brown in color, and has no stripes. It looks exactly like ordinary mosquitoes but really big. I am not aware whether it sucks blood or not but I suspect it doesn't.
Habitat:
Found in our house. Near a well-forested hill slope and a river.
Notes:
This one-inch long mosquito is pretty common in our area, when I was growing up in the province of Bataan in the Philippines. But as I talked to my coworkers in Manila, it seems like no one is aware that there are mosquitoes this big. So when I saw one when I was at my hometown last weekend, I decided to take a quick photograph.
