Book cover titled 'Amazing Mosquitoes' showing a girl with glasses, wearing a pink and orange hat, peering at a pond with mosquito larvae, surrounded by tall grass and flying mosquitoes.

‘Amazing Mosquitoes’ was written in collaboration with Prof Yoosook Lee at the University of Florida (Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory). We have both spent many hours in the lab and in the field being bitten by mosquitoes. So, we really hope you enjoy this book. And by the end, maybe you’ll agree that mosquitoes are actually quite fascinating (not just annoying!).
