PHIL Images From This Week 20514 07/21/2017 08:00 AM EDT The flamboyantly-colored mosquito pictured here is known as Sabethes cyaneus, and is a natural inhabitant of the Panamanian forest canopy. This particular specimen, which had landed on the photographer's hand, was an offspring of a colony of mosquitoes that had been raised in captivity at Ohio State University, and in its larval form, had been sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), where it hatched, and was subsequently photographed. Note its brilliant iridescent purple, blue and gold coloration, as well as the large, feather-shaped mass of setae adorning the tibiae of its middle pair of jointed legs. See PHIL 15781, for another view of this mosquito in an environmental setting.   13665 07/20/2017 08:00 AM EDT This woman was photographed as she was shopping for groceries at a mobile Georgian farmers market.
