It is an ordinary evening, and a boy and his sister play hide and seek. Little does the boy suspect he's also being hunted by another female—a mosquito, who wants a little of his blood to feed her eggs. There’s a story behind everything, even something as small as a mosquito bite. Where did she come from? Why does she want to bite? There are lots of interesting close-up micrographic pictures (magnified many times) of the mosquito, so you can see what she looks like and learn all about her life as she grows from an egg into a wriggly worm and finally into an impressive flying hunter. This boy might hide from his sister, but he’s no match for Culex pipiens.
