The neurons that sense a mosquito on your arm are primarily sensory neurons, specifically mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors. Mechanoreceptors detect the physical sensation of the mosquito landing on your skin, while chemoreceptors can sense the chemicals released by the mosquito, such as saliva. Together, these sensory neurons send signals to the brain, alerting you to the presence of the mosquito.

What a neuron in your finger senses the temperature when you touch something hot?

The nerve cells that detect heat (located within your Dermis) activate when touching a hot surface. This nerve impulse then travels through your central nervous system to your brain when it is translated as "pain" or "damage" to the area. The signal travels back down the arm as a reaction to move the stimulous and causes you to move your hand.
