Some people don't think there is a difference between a fly and mosquito, but there is. There are such things as a House fly and a Horse fly. The House fly is usually what you would see flying around the house or some where close to food. The Horse fly and Mosquito are the some what similar though. Mosquito's bite you because they feed on blood from humans and other mammals. A Horse fly bites you for about the same reason but are faster at biting you than a mosquito.

What would happen if a fly and a mosquito were to hybridize and create a new species called a "fly mosquito hybrid"?

If a fly and a mosquito were to hybridize, it is unlikely that they would be able to create a new species called a "fly mosquito hybrid." This is because flies and mosquitoes belong to different families and have different genetic makeups, making it difficult for them to successfully reproduce and create viable offspring. In the rare event that hybridization did occur, the resulting offspring would likely be sterile or have genetic abnormalities, making it unlikely for a new species to be established.
