A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Toxorhynchites speciosus
Body length 12mm, the biggest mosquito in Australia. NOT HARMFUL to humans due to being nectar feeders. The larval stages are predacious on other mosquito larvae.
I found this one laying on my daybed cushion inside the house
