'Everyone knows' that mayflies live for a day, but it's longer than that. They can live from a day to a week, and fly throughout the summer - not just in May - and they are not technically 'flies'. Flies belong in the order Diptera, while mayflies belong in the order Ephemeroptera.

The misting can be very effective, but I highly suggest using a professional company instead of anything you can do yourself. The pros have stronger chemicals and they last longer.
How do you care for your cicada bug what do you feed it hydrate it with to give it a longer life span?
I couldn't tell you how to hydrate it (I'm assuming with just water), but cicadas eat by drinking sap from under tree bark and in stems (I use pieces of a maple tree myself).
Which insect has the longest life?
For some reason, Nature allows most insects to live only a short time compared to other living things on earth. But there is one insect that enjoys a longer life span than many members of the animal kingdom. There is a species of the cicada that actually lives for 17 years! No other insect comes anywhere near it in length of life, except perhaps a termite queen. The cicada's "life", however, is not exactly one that other insects should envy. It sleeps in the ground for those entire 17 years, comes out to enjoy only five weeks of life in the sun, and then dies! Why does it take 17 long years for nature to develop this little insect? No one knows the answer. All we know is that a female cicada lays eggs on the twigs of trees.When the young are hatched from those eggs they drop down, burrow into the ground, and attach themselves to roots. And these young cicadas, which are called "nymphs", remain there motionless for 17 years, sucking the sap of the roots! Then some kind of mysterious instinct makes them decide to go out into the light. They climb the trunk of a tree, their skins split open, and the mature cicada emerges. The male cicada is the one who makes that shrill sound you hear in the countryside. Scientists say that the noise-making instrument of the cicada is the most complicated musical organ to be found in nature. The male cicada has little drumlike plates which are constantly kept vibrating by muscles that never seem to get tired. There are more than 800 species, or kinds, of cicadas, and 100 of these are found in North America. But the 17-year cicada is found only in the United States. Most species of cicadas live only two years

You have got to be joking -I live in Barcelona and have done for the past 30 years and Im looking on this site to find a "cure" to the tiger mosquitos that are just eating me alive each summer more and more - don't bother my husband - im type b positive blood so that rules out the blood theory - cant stand them much longer - regards, desperate Babs There are around 50 species of mosquitoes and biting insects in Spain. The Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is the mosquito that bites during the day. It is smaller than the normal mosquito and has a black and white banded body and legs. The bite is more severe than other species of mosquito and the itching last much longer. We have developed a special lure used in our mosquito traps which is aimed specifically at the Asian Tiger Mosquito. More information can be found at www.insectsaway.com.

What temperature will a mosquito survive in?
Mosquitoes can thrive in any hot temperature, as long as they have a water source to lay eggs in. As far as the cold, mosquitoes can no longer function if the temperature goes below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it has been shown that in Canada, a female mosquito can put themselves into a hibernation and survive temperatures as low as -42 degrees Celsius.
