Hello foldscope community !


 I attended Foldscope workshop last year in Guwahati, India and it was enthralling experience for me. I am so sorry for being out of touch. This is my first post about my observations of a mosquito.


 I had observed mosquitoes earlier under the foldscope but this is the first time I was able to catch a drunk mosquito.  I am curious about the pattern on the head. And how to differentiate among the different species of mosquitoes by looking at the structure. Is it possible with foldscope ?


 I am looking to learn from you and contribute as much as I can. I will try improve my observation skills in the upcoming posts.


 Thanks !
