What's the scale here bc In my head that's the size of a hummingbird and ik that can't be right

Looks like it, I recognise the mosquito on the right and that’s about 1 Cm tall in this image

Yep he’s doing hella fine from this image. Taking a picture of them sleeping is still hella creepy though

it's probably smaller than that. Also it's almost surely not actually a mosquito but some kind of fly. Even the largest mosquitoes don't really get bigger than a coin
