Mosquitoes are insects. They are in winged insects (pterygota), then holometabola, meaning they posses true metamorphosis with larval, pupal and adult stages. Within holometabola they belong to the diptera or flies, which can be distinguished from other insects in that their hind wings are reduced to a balance organ called a haltere. Within diptera they are the family culicidae which can be distinguished from other flies by a piercing proboscis and scales on the veins of the wings.
