Description

“READY-OR-NOT-HERE-I-COME.”The boy listens.The girl is getting closer.Suddenly, there’s another sound.A droning buzz.Something else is looking for the boy.The seeker is a mosquito, Culex pipiens, and her search is a matter of life and death. She must find food—blood—to nourish the hundreds of tiny eggs inside her body.Black-and-white photographs show the children’s game of hide-and-seek, while astonishing micrographs show Culex and her world as seen through an electron microscope. Zoom in for a close-up view: A blade of grass looks like a menacing field of spines. A mosquito’s eye becomes a bundle of tightly packed tubes.Discover the life story of a mosquito from a truly larger-than-life point of view.
