Synopsis
An unusually informative film on the mosquito showing complete metamorphosis of the insect from the egg through the larva and the pupa stages to its emergence in adult form. New techniques in cinematography make possible faithful anatomical detail of the living mosquitoes." (National Board of Review) Good, disgusting XCUs of wiggling mosquito larvae and an interesting real-time shot of a mosquito growing fatter as it sucks blood. Some nice illustration work as well.

★★★ · I. AM. MOSQUITO. · Spuzz · 2012-10-08
Informative and interesting movie about the mosquito. The film goes into the 4 stages of life, egg, larvae, pupae, and finally MOSQUITO! Nothing extravagant, tells this in a straightforward way.
