This is one of the common mosquito we encountered during bush-walking. It can be the carrier of Dengue Fever. It will come to you during any time of the day, in sunny or shaped area.

Notice the lyre-shaped line on each sides of the thorax. Also notice this mosquito's abdomen is red, which is the colour from my blood.
