- These transmit countless diseases and are responsible for one million deaths worldwide and approx. 700 million infections. Mosquitos reproduce in water and their larvae will form into adult mosquitos, which are able to transmit diseases (human and non-human). I found some standing water in my garden and collected some mosquito larvae for microscopy.

Nice hack with three cover glasses
my doughter just ran way ... to catch a fly for further investigation :-D thanks!!!
really cool video. was hoping for this, because your shots on the other video are so beautiful. that one mozzie magnified was spectacular!
The fantastically shaped tip can be found in every humanely used syringe. It is hard work to fly with the long lance; the wing hairs will produce the specific flight sound.
Thank you for posting. I've been watching you since 4th grade when I got my first microscope. Now a 10th grader planning on being a pre-med student in college. Thank you for guiding me through my first days with a microscope. Have a great one!
Thank you!
wonderful. i looooove this. good luck with your studies. no matter what level we are in study or hobby, we will never forget the first instigator! ❤
@ MH: forever grateful for your time and efforts
@@MarieChardome thank you! i appreciate it!
@@Microbehunter no, thank you! keep posting please!\
fascinating
Would you make a video where you add the bacteria that kills mosquito larvae under the microscope? It usually comes in a small puck that you drop into the standing water. Would be cool to see what they look like and how effective it is.
I breed mosquito larvae to feed my goldfish - live fish food that is natural and nutritious.
Couldn't that breed diseases?
@@completeandabsolutenerd No, the larvae is eaten as fish food before they develop through the pupal stage.
I keep the larvae in a separate aquarium on my patio where they are well-fed with fish flakes so they don't cannibalize one-another. keeping it outside also allows adult mosquitos to lay eggs so the cycle continues.
@@MichaelAChang Interesting! thanks for sharing!
We call it 'gok guk'
Aedes aegypti?
Animal? I never would have classified em in that category!
Possible to add the magnification { X } used on your videos?
Awesome
Mosquitos and their larvae in general are harmless. I lived in Texas for many years and getting sucked on by mosquitos is just a fact of life there...extremely few people contract serious disease from them in the US. Cool vid
in the US, yeah.... overall they are still dangerous
Very few people get hit and killed by cars in your life but that doesn't mean a lot of people don't die from it nor does it mean cars aren't dangerous. It's a risk, someone always loses.
@@MCNarret Im sorry these comments are bizarre, what I stated is true and if you fear everything you will not lead a happy life. Bless you.
guess it's more about finding the balance. and not encouraging the overpopulation of them by emptying your standing water now and again.
@@ExploreTheMicrocosmos it's not about fearing everything, but respecting danger that does exist and does matter. I'm not suggesting running away screaming if you see a mosquito, just that they ARE dangerous. Life is risk, but you don't have to be blind about risk, being blind about them costs lives.
