Yellow fever mosquito feeding on my arm

Close up of a Yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) female feeding on my arm. As you will see her abdomen is swollen and almost full with blood. Part in parcel of the dangers of my occupation - I dont mind the occasional feed. Just wish there was better light in the mosquito room to get a sharper picture - or that I am juggling the camera one handedly as its on the other arm.
