Answer 3

The mosquito (colloquially referred to as "mozzies" or "mossies" in English-speaking countries except North America, also informal term in entomology)[1] [2] and skeeter (some areas of North America) [1][2][3]) is a member of the family Culicidae; these insects have a pair of scaled wings, a pair of halteres, a slender body, and long legs. The females of most mosquito species suck blood from other animals. Size varies but is rarely greater than 15 mm (0.6 inch). Mosquitoes weigh only about 2 to 2.5 mg (0.03 to 0.04 grain). A single flight can last about 4 to 5 minutes. They can fly at about 1.5 to 2.5 km/h (0.9 to 1.6 mph) and most species are nocturnal. [citation needed]

Mosquitoes are believed to have evolved around 170 million years ago during the Jurassic era (206–135 million years ago) with the earliest known fossils from the Cretaceous era (144–65 million years ago).[citation needed] They evolved in the land mass that is now South America, spreading initially to the northern continent Laurasia and re-entering the tropics from the north. [citation needed]Ancestral mosquitoes were about three times the size of the extant species and they are a sister group to the Chaoboridae (biting midges). [citation needed]

The family Culicidae belong to the order Diptera and contains about 3500 species in three subfamilies: Anophelinae (3 genera), the Culicinae (9 genera and >80% of all the species) and the Toxorhynchitinae (1 genus). The genera include Anopheles, Culex, Psorophora, Ochlerotatus, Aedes, Sabethes, Wyeomyia, Culiseta, and Haemagoggus. Within the subfamily Anophelinae six subgenera are recognized: Stethomyia, Lophopodomyia, Kerteszia, Nyssorhynchus (all South American), Cellia (Old World only), and Anopheles (worldwide).

Mosquitoes are principally nectar feeders with only the females requiring a meal of blood, except for the Toxorhynchites, which never drinks blood. [4] This family includes the largest of the extant mosquitoes (colloquially referred to as "mosquito eaters"), the larvae of which are predatory on the larvae of other mosquitoes. These mosquito eaters have been used in the past as mosquito control agents with variable success. [5]

In the English language, the word Mosquito (Span., little fly) dates back to 1583. [citation needed] The word was adopted to replace the term "biting flies" to prevent confusion with the house fly. It is derived from the word musca (Latin fly, cf. Skt maksh) and is related to the Italian moschetta and the French moustique.

The female mosquito (in almost all species) sucks the blood of mammals, including humans. Mosquito bites often swell up hours after happening, causing a red ringed white bump about a centimeter in diameter. This bump can itch for days and over-scratching the bite can cause it to bleed. Continued over-scratching can cause scars. Mosquito bites can transmit diseases, such as malaria and West Nile Virus, so authorities in many areas take measures to reduce mosquito populations through pesticides or more organic means. An easy way to reduce mosquito populations in a residential area is the removal of standing water (where mosquitoes breed), and the use of repellents, such as DEET.

Answer 4

I live in Nigeria and mosquitoes are the bane of our existence. Personally they bite me every where available my eyelids, forehead, lips everywhere!!!!!!!!! If you are unlucky and they bite your feet that's pure hell.
More seriously I think the mosquito was discovered at about the period of the scramble for africa when explorers came africa the nile region especially was referred to as the white man's grave.

Answer 5

One of the sensors mosquitoes have to find food is detecting infrared (heat). Our head emits a lot of heat, especially our ears, so they are attracted to that. They are attracted to other parts of the body, but you just notice them more easily around your ears.
