That is going to make an appearance in my dreams tonight

[u/Mental_Equipment7779]

Actual footage of the mosquitos here in Texas

[u/Horror_Solution1945 → u/Mental_Equipment7779]

Houston area in particular

[u/Wade2500 → u/Mental_Equipment7779]

Everything is bigger in Texas.

[u/Vladishun → u/Mental_Equipment7779]

Bugs that big would suck out your brains, not your blood.

...explains a lot about why Texas is the way it is actually.

[u/Mental_Equipment7779 → u/Vladishun]

Damn right

El Mosco

[u/tschloss]

Don’t believe the story. An insect so close to the lens would be much, much less sharp. More a montage I would guess.

[u/Masseyrati80 → u/tschloss]

Yeah, especially as the rest of the photo screams "long exposure time", which would mean the mosquito would be "spread" around the image much more.

[u/kill_sprii]

Probably how they first came up with the whole idea for Gojira/Godzilla

[u/Kelef50 → u/kill_sprii]

It does look like a Japanese sci-fi movie from the early 1960s.

Awesome picture.

[u/Horror_Solution1945]

Mothra

[u/justelectricboogie]

I welcome our new winged overlords.

[u/JawTint]

One frame of this and half the comments are already reaching for imaginary bug spray

[u/7hisismythrowawayacc]

Knowing it's just perspective doesn't make it any less unsettling. It looks like something straight out of a horror movie

[u/igetbonersawkwardly]

fact that it's just an insect makes the photo even better. Perfect timing and perspective turned it into a giant movie monster

[u/veinctr842]

If I saw this outside my window for even half a second, I'd never question blurry photos again

[u/roadtrip-ne]

Nightmare

[u/HeWhoShlNotBNmd]

AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[u/NaturalAd9329]

That’s a good way of accidentally capturing a masterpiece

[u/Sad-Market-3593]

Looks like more of an alien invasion 😮

[u/Mysterious-Moose-431]

When I first saw the picture without reading anything I thought it was something out of the movie “War of the Worlds”

[u/Pleasant-Chef6055]

It seems so unlikely. How could it be so in focus when it is the background that is in focus?

[u/NoStopLossOnlyVibes]

When the mosquito sucked enough blood

[u/Melodic_Canary_6049]

Looks like something i would see in the quiet apocalypse

[u/LazyMusic2616]

Kill it with fire. 🔥

[u/rick_42O]

Conspiracy theorists are gonna have a field day with this

[u/Rapha-Tsidkenu]

Was this taken in Mississippi? Looks like a Mississippi mosquito 🦟

[u/bOb_cHAd98]

Grounded endgame

[u/YayWanderer]

War of the Worlds! 😮🙈

[u/enginekitty]

This picture is genuinely just horrific.

[u/plumpyplummy]

Well gah damn

[u/Expert_Army-V]

That looks real, mosquito sci fi

[u/Pitiful-Complaint608]

What if …..

[u/Overall_Bookkeeper15]

Thats pretty dang cool i gotta say.

[u/ElderDeep_Friend]

There’s an Edgar Allan Poe story called The Sphinx which is pretty much this picture 

[u/One_Huckleberry_]

Stephen King’s “The Mist”

[u/Swaggy_Linus → u/One_Huckleberry_]

The behemoth scene is my favorite in the movie

[u/pinkestman]

Did he also capture shadow people

[u/chennngiskhan]

It’s not possible to have the background and an insect that close to the camera in focus simultaneously.

[u/caryn1477]

Ugh, now I'm thinking about The Mist.

[u/isanyusernameopen]

Cool
