Nobody likes being bitten by mosquitoes - certainly not by this one.
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.
Mr Zhao told MailOnline the insect belonged to a species called holorusia mikado, which is the world's largest mosquito species originating in Japan.
