These are great pictures with fantastic timings!!

What is your objective for studying these deadly creatures?
Why are you collecting Data and what does this data indicate?

I am curious to know where is the mosquito breeding in the first pictures or in fact all pictures.

What precautions do you keep in mind while handling them or taking photos?

Keep us updated with your data and give us a briefing of the same too!!
