When I was helping my mother look for firewood behind the house, suddenly I managed to find a mosquito with a very large size that was perched on an old cloth that was on a chocolate tree. I myself was quite surprised by the size of this mosquito and it was very big. Seeing its size I could already imagine how terrible this mosquito was so I was curious to try to photograph it, but it was very unfortunate that I only managed to take two pictures because this mosquito immediately flew away when I tried to photograph it from a different side. When this mosquito was flying I could also hear a fairly loud buzzing sound and this made me immediately avoid it. Because of my curiosity I tried to search for information about this mosquito on Google and it turns out that this is the largest type of mosquito in the world, when they are adults they no longer suck blood and their food is flower nectar.

Okay friends, now I will share some pictures of this elephant mosquito here.
