Background  Biting midges are hematophagus ectoparasites of insects, humans and other animals.  Culicoides  ( Trithicoides )  anophelis  Edwards1922 is a predator of engorged mosquitoes.    Findings  In a field trip of wild mosquito collections,  C. anophelis  was found on two  Anopheles  mosquitoes. One mosquito with a midge clinging onto its abdomen was caught on video demonstrating the act of the midge taking blood from the engorged mosquito  Anopheles vagus.  The midge  C. anophelis  has a broad host range. Documented in the literature, the midge has been found in various mosquito species in the genera  Anopheles, Culex ,  Aedes  and  Armigeres .    Conclusions  A video clip was presented demonstrating a midge taking blood from an engorged mosquito. The host promiscuity of  C. anophelis  raises a concern about its potential as a mechanic or biological vector to spread viruses among mosquito populations.
