I saw a "Vampire" when I wanna to have a shower in the bath room last few days. I'm not really sure if the noun "Vampire" is suitable to describe this big mosquito or not, it may not require a blood meal I guess.

As I know, the male or large mosquito species normally doesn't bite animals or human for the blood meal, they have the juicy meal from the fruits or plants instead. Or else, it would be quite terrible to have such big "blood addicted" mosquito flying anywhere in our houses just seeking victim(s) for a "luxury" meal.
aThe largest mosquito I ever saw is shown in the photo below, Its lenght is around 2 cm plus. Have you ever see a mosquito in such a big size in the past? Creepy right? :D

Size comparison of the mosquito to the 10 cent coint.a

it must be "Toxorhynchites speciosus" species i guess. well such a big mosquito really exist, not kidding.
hehe, hope i didn't appear as a freak to you. :P i believe they do exist, a generation that has the appearance of human, no difference from us. human changes through time, i believe vampires to adapt like we do too. the thing is, maybe we can't recognized or differentiate them from normal human being. ;)
I met this kinda of mosquito as well when I was in my hometown. Gosh! It's really scary. Wonder how will it feel when being bitten?
Ahhww.... @_#

hmm, if so, that meant they have a normal life like human? no more blood sucking? or else there should at least news report on the incident.

Err...i just cant imagine if all mosquito as big as this one & flying everywhere...
i suppose the blood-sucking would reduced or they are not as needy as the stories were told. from what i heard, there are some psychotic killers that claimed they need blood though. who knows they are one of the later-vampires ?? the world is filled with possibilities after all. ;)

Oh no that's definitely NOT a mosquito. It is a harmless insect know as "Danny Long Legs" belonging to a gnat family. In the place where is live it is a very common insect. Incidently there is a mosquito that is larger than the normal "BAD" mosquito, but it is a GOOD mosquito. It doesn't suck blood. It is known as Toxorhynchites and both male and female only feed on plant sap. Their larvae feed on the larvae of the "Bad" mosquitoes.
It's a crane fly. Looks similar to mosquitoes, but huge.
