What is it?

What do you think this picture shows: an alien, harmless or deadly organism? Do you think the creature pictured here is a hoax, real or Hollywood fabrication? If you show this picture to your doctor and ask them what it is, do you think they will be able to tell you? Challenge your physician to identify this little creature and see if they are able to make a correct and accurate identification. If you tell your doctor you and thousands of other people are being infected and killed by these little creatures do you think they will say your are delusional? Try this test and see.

It's the Angel of Death!
I won't keep you wondering. Actually this is a potentially deadly organism, what is most appropriately entitled, The Angel of Death, also known as the mosquito, shown above in both larva (Fig. 1) and pupa forms (Fig. 2).
The larvae and pupae of mosquitoes live in ponds, ditches, lakes or any where that water collects and stagnates. Every year around the world millions of mosquitoes lay billion upon billions of eggs which hatch into tiny larvae which float like majestic satellites in a vast liquid universe. Within a short time these larvae grow, increasing greatly in size, then pupate, adult mosquitoes emerging to serve as vectors for deadly diseases such at malaria, yellow fever, dengue, filariasis, encephalitis and White Nile virus. While only a few of the over 2,500 known species of mosquitoes are vectors for disease, Anopheles mosquitoes are probably responsible for killing more people than all the wars throughout history!
Each year the World Health Organization estimates that over a million people die as a result of malaria, dengue fever and other diseases carried by mosquitoes. Over 300 million people are infected annually by mosquito borne diseases! Many other species of animals, including birds, are also plagued by mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit.

It's A Jungle Out There

Figure 3. Mosquitoes breeding in a quart jar
A single quart jar of water may contain enough mosquito larvae to kill thousands of people! Mosquitoes and the diseases they carry represent a terrorist threat worse than any ever posed by man. Yet the governments of the world have failed to control mosquito populations and invest the sums of money, man power and effort needed to effectively control mosquito populations around the world.
It is a jungle out there and mosquitoes are the beast which rule that jungle! In the above picture you can see larvae, pupae and freshly emerged adult mosquitoes. What you cannot see is thousands of more tiny mosquito larvae only recently hatched from eggs. These tiny mosquito larvae and their potential to spread disease might wipe out a small village somewhere in Burma, Thailand, the Philippines, Nigeria or the Congo. They may infect thousands of people with malaria, yellow fever or White Nile virus. From the amount of water in a single jar may emerge your very own Angle of Death!

The Fallacy of Conventional Mosquito Control Programs

Do you wonder why each year over 300 million people are infected with deadly diseases carried by mosquitoes? Do you wonder why over a million people die each year as a result of being bitten by a mosquito? Certainly the world community has the technology and resources to end this epidemic. Why is this not being done? Why are we still letting people die from mosquito bites?
One of the great fallacies with respect to mosquito control is aerosol spraying. In many parts of the world and in many communities aerosol spraying is the primary, if not the only form of mosquito control. Yet spraying for mosquitoes kills not only mosquitoes but many harmless insects and spiders which eat mosquitoes. Also infrequent, irregular or improper spraying is largely ineffective and not economical because the mosquitoes killed one evening will simply be replaced by newly emerging mosquitoes the next evening. If you closely examine a vial of stagnant water in which mosquito larvae occur, holding it up to the sun light, you will see that it is teaming with tiny mosquito larvae newly hatched from eggs. It is these tiny larvae, occurring everywhere that water is left standing, which will survive spraying and generate the next swarm of mosquitoes.

Figure 4. Angel of Death Aglow. An adult female mosquito magnified 20X seems to glow in a laser thin point of light, as if suspended in space, more alien than any alien which may ever come to Earth from afar, this deadly Angel of Death is humanity's worst enemy! Photo Copyright 2005 by EArts.
Given this factor and the problem of it being too expensive for many communities in third world nations to be able to spray petroleum based chemicals constantly for mosquitoes, it is no wonder people are dying by the millions as mosquito populations remain unchecked. The usage of aerosol petroleum based chemicals to control mosquitoes in rich, developed countries may enable mosquitoes to be managed, but it is not always applicable or practical in poor countries. Thus the poor die by the millions while the Angels of Death thrive!

Figure 5. Death Angel's Eyes Aglow. A pulse of light illuminates the eye covered head of a male Angel of Death bringing forth visions of an unearthly alien spacecraft, like something right out of Star Wars or the X-Files, a deadly weapon protruding from its head capable of destroying species thousands of times its mass and reproducing itself ad infinitum, until that day when it might inherit the planet Earth.

An effective mosquito control program must involve a multi prong attack to have any hope of success. This means killing not only adult mosquitoes, but the larvae before they have the opportunity to pupate and emerge as adults. Why do mosquito control programs then not focus upon mosquito larvae? Part of the problem is that it is easier to spray aerosols and gives people the impression that something is being done when they see and hear a truck driving by spraying for mosquitoes. But the truck might spray all night, and fail to kill the millions upon millions of mosquito larvae living in pools of standing water. So to a high degree spraying by itself is a waste of money and resources when it comes to effectively controlling mosquitoes. Spraying is, at best, a stop-gap measure, which kills adult mosquitoes and makes people feel happy, safe and secure, but does nothing to really effectively control mosquitoes over the long term. The result, of course, is that more and more spraying is required as more and more adult mosquitoes emerge from pools of standing water, the Angels of Death rising to their blood thirsty call, night after night, relentlessly, impossible to wipe entirely out by any amount of spraying.
One of the most ineffective control measures for mosquitoes is the bug zapper. These UV lamp traps attract mosquitoes and a host of other harmless insects, electrocuting them with a high voltage "ZAP!" Ironically bug zappers probably attract more mosquitoes to an outdoor area than were there to begin with, so increasing the danger that anyone in the area may be bitten by a mosquito and infected with a disease. The one situation where a Bug Zapper or UV lamp trap does actually work to eliminate mosquitoes is when they are placed inside a closed porch or other enclosed living room or area, such that they will attract and kill any nuisance mosquitoes that happened to find their way into a home or living area.
There are also a wide assortment of mosquito repellents upon the market. Each makes its own claim of being able to safeguard the user. There are repellant aerosols and sprays, creams and lotions, candles and even devices which are alleged to make a sound that repels mosquitoes. Do they work? Some may work better than others, but probably none work so good a long shirts and pants, loose clothing and mosquito netting. Among the most effective mosquito repellents are those which contain DEET, diethyl toluamide. This product, however, is not recommended on dogs.
There are tried and true ways to control mosquito populations. Certainly the easiest way to control mosquitoes is to remove sources of standing water. Mosquitoes require standing water to breed; without standing water larvae cannot feed and grow. Thus the elimination of sources of standing water is a sure way to help control mosquito populations.

Figure 6. Male Death Angel. Male Angel of Death swoops out of the night, its wide tuff of hairs sensing the air in search of a female, a red crowned head that is all eyes, aware of a vibration in the distance, a constant buzzing tone, the call of its mate, which beckons from afar, the male soaring rapidly through the night toward the demon that is its ecstasy! Photo Copyright 2005 by EArts.
Of course in many areas of the world removing sources of standing water is a problem. This is especially true in tropical regions which have long rainy seasons. In such instances one of the best control measures involves application of larvicides. These are chemical agents added to the water in concentrations sufficient to kill mosquito larvae before they are able to mature, pupate and metamorphose into adults. Certainly larvicides is one of the best, most economical and effective ways to control mosquitoes. Unfortunately not enough effort is being applied to the application of larvicides, one reason being that pest control operators and their supplier can make more money spraying over and over for mosquitoes; if you wipe them out using larvicide, then you put the mosquito sprayers out of business.
Individuals and communities concerned about diseases carried by mosquitoes should encourage and urge their local governments to adopt a multi prong attack approach to mosquito control, one that involves removal of breeding sites, application of larvicides, spraying when and where appropriate and utilizing new technologies for the control of mosquitoes as soon as they become available. Where spraying is the only or primary method of mosquito control, communities should adopt new control measures which heavily emphasize the usage of larvicides. Also it is important that everyone in the community become involved and work to remove areas of standing water. Even a single quart jar of stagnant water, the amount collected inside an old tire, can breed hundreds of mosquitoes.

Figure 7. Angel of Death's Proboscis. The ultimate weapon is not the atomic bomb, but a mosquito's proboscis, or syringe, which through the transmission of malaria, yellow fever and other deadly diseases, has killed more people than have died in all the wars throughout history. Shown here at 50X the Angle of Death's deadly weapon stands ready to pierce its next victim's skin, infect it with deadly microbes and claim another life. Photo Copyright 2005 by EArts.
It is insane that hundreds of millions of people around the world continue to suffer from diseases carried by mosquitoes. There should not be a single family without good housing that has windows, doors and mosquito screens. There should not be a single community that does not have an effective mosquito control program that emphasizes the removal of standing water and regular application of larvicide to control mosquitoes. There should not be a single nation that has not so utterly eliminated its mosquito borne diseases that one child should die annually!

Suspended beneath a bubble of air, an Angel of Death larva feeds, its mouthparts, golden umbrellas of hair blossoming wide, filaments which act to filter large debris from a rotating, swirling current of water before it is sucked into the digestive track to fill a tublar, barbed abdomen which has taken on the chlorophyll green color of injested algae.

This may seem like an impossible dream, but the goal of zero deaths from mosquitoes is possible to achieve. The first step toward reaching that goal is to become educated and informed; to understand the life cycle of the mosquito as has been so graphically related upon this site. Then wear and display the bold graphic images of mosquitoes and refer people to this site that others may be made aware of the problem, that one by one through word of mouth, people become enlightened with respect to mosquitoes and how they can be effectively controlled, that people everywhere band together to solve the problem of mosquito control in their communities.
It is possible to drastically reduce the number of infections and death that occur each year due to the mosquito and the diseases it transmits. But this can only be done through education that people so educated demand that the time, effort, manpower and money be spent upon mosquito control that is required to achieve effective eradication of the Angel of Death. Please do your part and help, by supporting this site and work to forever vanquish the Angel of Death!

The Solution: Effective Mosquito Control, Monitoring, R & D

There is a solution to the worldwide epidemic of mosquito borne disease. The methods and procedures exist to save millions of lives that are now being lost. All that is needed is for people to become aware of the problem, to recognize that there is a solution, and to demand that the time, money and effort be spent to achieve that goal of a world not ruled by the Angel of Death, but by the force of life!
One of the best examples of an effective multi prong mosquito control program can be seen by looking to Florida, a pioneer state in the effort to develop and implement effective mosquito control measures. A good example is the program being employed by the Manatee County Mosquito Control District. The MCMCD in Florida uses a combined operations approach involving larviciding, adulticiding, adult mosquito disease and surveillance and basic mosquito research". This is the model which, if adopted thousands of times over around the world, can achieve a victory over the Angel of Death.

Future Hope: Mosquito Control Technology in the 21st Century

Great advances are being made in mosquito control. Among the most promising new technologies is the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). This involves the mass rearing of sterile male mosquitoes which mate with wild females resulting in no offspring and eradication of species. Using SIT it is possible for a relatively small insectary to produce a million or more sterile male mosquitoes daily! On the island of Zanzibar, this technique was initially successful in wiping out the dreaded tsete fly, Glossina spp. which transmits fatal sleeping sickness. SIT has also been employed successfully against the Mediterranean Fruit Fly or Medfly, Ceratitis capitata and the screwworm in the USA, Mexico and Lybia. (See Nuclear Sterile Insect Technique by M. Ragheb 4/25/2004).
Genetic engineering methodology is also being applied to fight the dreaded Angel of Death. Scientist are manipulating genes to try to devise ways to reduce or replace entire mosquito populations. This method utilizes mass rearing of mosquitoes which have been genetically altered such that they have a fatal or lethal gene and their offspring expire. In another method the genes of mosquitoes are altered such that the progeny of females is killed but males survive. Thus the females, which transmit disease when they feed on warm blooded animals, would be wiped out! (See: Tinkering with genes to fight insect-borne disease: The Lancet 363 (9417), by Leslie Harris O'Hanlon, UK, 17 April 2004).
Such technologies are developing slowly because this type of research and development has not been made a priority! Relatively little money is spent upon R&D as relates to control of mosquitoes. What is the reason for this? Basically it boils down to pure ignorance, prejudice and negligence! The millions upon millions of people who are dying as a result of mosquito borne disease are among the poorest, most deprived people in the world. The majority are children. Those who are rich and have the power, control and money simply are turning away, looking in the other direction! The fact is the rich nations of the world do not care how many millions are dying from mosquito borne disease because this serves their purpose, enabling them to maintain power and control over what are perceives as limited resources. So the rich get richer while the poor get poorer and babies and children around the world continue to become infected by the hundreds of millions by mosquito borne disease! It is utter madness that this holocaust should be occurring at the dawn of the 21st century, no one speaking out, no one taking action to rectify the situation, no one caring!
Yes, the solution exists. What is lacking is the will of the people to demand that action be taken, that the effort be made, that the resources be devoted to win the war against the Angel of Death! Until this change of consciousness is made, victory belongs to the Angel of Death!
This is why each person can make a difference. Join the Angel of Life Foundation and your contributions will help take that first step, that hardest step, to winning the war against the Angel of Death.
Yes, the solution exist. The methods, the means, the know how exists to defeat the Angel of Death. All that is needed is everyone's willingness to stand up and be counted! So, please, join the Angel of Life Foundation today, and help save millions of lives tomorrow!

Figure 11. Angel of Death's Head. Peering into the magnified head of an Angel of Death larva one perceives a complex creature with dark eyes, a network of trachea, neurons and ciliated rosette of mouthparts which filter relatively large debris from the nutrient rich water in which the larva occurs. Billions upon billions of mosquito larvae help keep algae under control and provide a valuable food source for fish and fowl as well as other aquatic animals. The Angel of Death is a magnificent creature which plays a valuable role in the ecosystem. Were it not for the fact adult female mosquitoes bite, drink blood and transmit disease organisms to humans and other warm blooded animals, perhaps the Angel of Death would be deserving of a kinder, gentler name. Yet often in nature creatures express contradicting qualities, be it the sweet aromatic rose with prickly thrones or the love and hate expressed by humanity. Photo Copyright 2005 by EArts.

Letter to a Friend

My dear friend,

In order to help educate and inform people around the world about mosquitoes, I have created The Angel of Life Foundation. This originated from my interest in the study of entomology and photo micrography. One day I was collecting specimens from the stagnate water left in a small outside pool used by my dog to play in and cool off. I noticed many mosquito larvae and pupae. I collected samples which were used to make a series of photographs of mosquitoes. I was quite familiar with mosquitoes, having visited IFAS in Gainesville, Florida some years earlier, touring their Diptera laboratory, and learning how to mass rear mosquitoes and flies. I had also worked for a Biological Control operator while in college and as an expert on fireflies, had studied this most wondrous of bioluminescent insects for many years, making a number of original discoveries. Over time my interest in entomology expanded, branched, and matured, my focus finally falling upon mosquitoes. I decided to apply my knowledge and expertise to help others as relates to mosquitoes and the transmission of mosquito borne diseases. Thus the Angel of Life Foundation was born.
The Angel of Life Foundation has as its goal making people more aware about mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit; that hundreds of millions of people are infected each year by mosquito borne disease, and that over a million people die every year from mosquito bites which transmit disease. This will require much effort and help from everyone who shares these concerns. Plus I will be expanding this site over time, to provide an educational and informative resource. I hope that everyone will chip in and contribute whatever they can to make this a successful project. It would be nice to add some more pictures and material and develop this into a complete mosquito resource site, and certainly that is one of my goals.
Those first two pictures on this site, Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, have to be some of the most interesting photos of immature forms of mosquitoes that I've ever seen. Yes, I took them myself! :-) The tiny mosquito larva in the first photo, Fig. 1, measures in at 1.75mm in length. When these are swarming in stagnant water they are practically invisible. In a single eight ounce glass of water there may be thousands of them. It is rather profound that these tiny creatures become the Angel of Death, responsible for more people dying than have died in all the wars throughout history.
The WHO says over one million people die each year as a result of mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit. Isn't it strange, a couple of hundred thousand people get swept away by a tsunami and it makes the headline news with the international community responding, sending aid all too late for those who have perished, yet for the 300-500 million people infected each year with mosquito borne disease and the one million who die annually as a result of having been infected with a disease transmitted by mosquitoes, there are only whispers of concern. Politicians, ministers, lawyers, they mumble:
"Oh this is a natural phenomena. You can't change the malaria situation. This is how Nature controls the population. It is the fault of local government; they just won't spend enough money and do what is necessary to control mosquitoes. Besides the people who are effected most are the poor, the ignorant, the impoverished; they are not so important and can be gotten along quite well without. After all, it is God's will to give and to take. The important thing is not the body but the soul. As missionaries it is our job to minister to the soul; mosquitoes are God's children too, you know. It is wrong to kill any of God's creatures!"
The arguments go on an on and the Angle of Death continues to breed and multiply by the billions upon billions. If ever there were a Devil or a Great Satan, certainly it is the Angel of Death!

Figure 14. Mouth Brush Umbrellas A transparent early instar mosquito larva opens its golden mouth brush umbrellas as it sucks in water, the numerous fine hairs filtering large debris, its bright red imaginal eyes allowing the larva to orientate itself in relationship to the sunlight. Mosquito larvae are perhaps one of the most abundant and primary forms of fresh water plankton which serve as a valuable food source for many aquatic animals and certainly help keep algae, bacteria and other microbes in check.

Would you like to help? One thing you can do is look at what your community is doing to control mosquitoes. I would like to get everyone's feedback in these regards, so please send me any information or material you can find related to the control of mosquitoes in your community. What sort of control measures do they use for mosquitoes in your neck of the woods? Can you get any data on this? Does the city just spray with aerosols, driving around in trucks? That is pretty much how it is done most places. Those spray trucks and the chemical fogs they spew into the air have a way of devastating firefly populations as well as killing many other beneficial insects and spiders, even the ones which keep mosquitoes in check. Yet spraying programs alone are largely ineffective and not economical, especially for poor countries.
The best time to kill mosquitoes is probably just when they hatch from eggs and are most vulnerable to larvicides. This would also be an opportunistic moment for any biological control methods which might be brought into play. Certainly programs to rear and release sterile males or males with fatal genes is also a good strategy which offers some promise for the future. But given the magnitude of this problem, more needs to be done.
The situation with malaria, dengue fever and other mosquito transmitted diseases makes a mysterious disease like Morgellons seem trivial and insignificant, indeed. Here is a genuine Angel of Death, which swims, flies and sucks blood like so many tiny vampires from its victims, infecting them with the agents of death, tiny, invisible microbes that will wreak havoc to their bodies bringing swift, agonizing death.
Yet with all that may be being done around the world to control mosquitoes and eradicate them, it is only a fraction of the effort which would be needed to achieve eliminate this problem which is so astronomical in scope that some people certainly will claim it has no final solution.
Certainly if there ever were an alien invasions, it could take no better form than that of a mosquito. Here is a creature so different from man, so foreign, yet so well adapted to survival, and equipped with an arsenal of biological warfare weapons so deadly, that one must conclude it has been designed through millions of years of evolution especially for the destruction of homo sapiens and other warm blooded animals.
A mosquito is the perfect people killing machine! Indeed, a mosquito is the worst form of terrorist imaginable! Yet the nations of the world spin billions of dollars to control human terrorists while they spin only a fraction of a penny to control the terrorism caused by mosquitoes! This is a prime example of misplaced priorities! The armies of the world should be attacking mosquitoes, not each other!
So I have begun the Angel of Death site and started The Angel of Life Foundation to promote education and inform the public about mosquitoes and their control. Who knows, maybe in time this will make a difference and save some lives.
Peace and love the whole world over!
Terry

Egg rafts may have between 140 - 340 eggs and even a small pool of stagnant water may have scores of egg rafts which release thousands of tiny larvae which will mature in 8 to 12 days during the warm summer, spreading encephalitis to people or heart worms to their canine companions.
