World Largest Mosquito

An insect expert claimed to have caught the world's largest mosquito with an astonishing 11.15cm (4.4in) wing span - about 10 times longer than that of an average mosquito.The massive insect was caught on Qingcheng Mountain in south-west China's Sichuan Province. 

The mosquito was discovered by Chinese entomologist Zhao Li during a field inspection in August, 2017. There are a wide definition and a narrow definition of the mosquito family. 

Under the narrow definition, only a mosquito that bites is a mosquito.'Different countries have different ways to call and define insects, but from a biological perspective, holorusia mikados are categorised as mosquitoes.

 

The record-breaking mosquito has been turned into a specimen to be displayed in the Insect Museum of West China. The mosquito's specimen is due to be shown to the public during an exhibition about strange insects in the Insect Museum of West China in May.
