Aedes Mosquito

Aedes is a genus of mosquito originally found in tropical and subtropical zones. It can be found in my land of residence Malaysia and in neighbouring countries Indonesia (Bali) and Thailand.

The name of the Aedes mosquito comes from the Greek language, where aedes stands for "unpleasant".

Unpleasant is the least what you can say about the aedes mosquito: these aedes mosquitoes transmit the deadly diseases dengue fever and yellow fever.

Aedes mosquitoes have typical black and white stripe markings on their body and legs like so:
