Elephant mosquito: This is a new one for me. He was very active. They don't bite but instead sip nectar. I only got a couple shots before he left. Maybe he'll be back tomorrow.

He looked black until flash exposed the metallic colors

Male mosquitoes consume only nectar. It is the female mosquito that requires fresh blood to develop her eggs.
Nice capture. :thumbup:
