I was out working on my car with my dad when I noticed a mosquito so I loaded up a nice back hand when I noticed it's head was abnormal. I took a picture for a closer look and I see this: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/1GBjPX6.jpg[/thumb] Now I've glanced through some mosquito encyclopedias and seen nothing that looked like a fat probascused rabbit eared mutant in my opinion. But I'm no entomology enthusiast so I wonder if anyone with a more educated opinion could take a look.
kill it with fire.
I believe that is a mosquito.
I get that but I looked through a couple dozen common mosquito species but saw nothing with a wide probascus & rabbit ear shaped antannae(?) Do you know the species?
It might have been a male mosquito, they have fluffier antenna

Fun fact, male mosquitoes don't drink blood. They go for flower nectar. They're pretty chill.
