What are Mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes are small, flying insects belonging to the family Culicidae. They are known for their distinctive long, thin bodies, and most species have wings covered in scales. Mosquitoes are found worldwide and are particularly prevalent in areas with warm, humid climates. Female mosquitoes feed on the blood of humans and other animals, using specialized mouthparts to pierce the skin and extract blood, which provides essential nutrients for egg development. Male mosquitoes, on the other hand, typically feed on nectar from flowers. While mosquitoes are best known as annoying pests due to their itchy bites, they also serve as vectors for various diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and West Nile virus, making them one of the deadliest animals on the planet in terms of human health impact.
