They dont sting, they have a sharp hollow tube (part of their head) that they stab into the skin to suck blood. They can 'bite' countless times in their life. They are not like bees.
Yes. Especially the the invasive tiger mosquito which was brought to the US from china not too long ago.
They are much bigger than normal Mosquitos and have a striped pattern. These nasty bugs will even come out during the day.
Because a bee sting is bigger than a spider bite
because every ---------------------------- is in a stae of motion
Mosquitoes tend to live in humid, wet, water abundant environments. Countries that could possibly not meet any of those criteria could be: Greenland, Antarctica, or any other place that's extremely cold or desert areas with not much standing water.
A Rufous Hummingbird has a wingspan of 3 - 4 cm and can flap/beat thier wings about 200 times a second
If a green fly bites you its fine rinse it out and put a band-aid on it or just leave it if it's not bleeding. Green flies are not harmful but are dirty and can carry disease, but they're just like mosquitoes if your bitten by one no biggie.
Definition for green flys:
Green flies, or green bottle flies, are shiny, metallic green in color. Their eyes are large, compound and tinted red. Like other blow and bottle flies, these flies are commonly found on farms.
Adults feed pollen, serving as key pollinators for plants that mimic the smell of carrion. Although painful, green flies are not known to transfer diseases through biting. Rather, the transfer of pathogens occurs when they land on food or food preparation surfaces after coming into contact with carrion or feces.
Female flies choose dead and wounded animals, as well as feces, within which to lay their eggs. Green bottle flies are particularly fond of dog feces and large populations may be found in dog parks and dog runs as a result. After hatching, yellow-gray larvae feed for two to 10 days, amassing enough body weight to last through their upcoming pupa stage. The scientific community has taken special interest in the larvae of these flies for their potential to treat necrotic flesh wounds in sanitized, controlled conditions.
Without mosquitoes then the ecosystem would be all messed up and the animals like dragonfly's, frogs, bats, etc wouldn't be able to eat them and would be hungry.
Because they hate the smell of the peel of the orange. It makes them dizzy.
An insect flying north, for example, could judge its direction by keeping a natural source of light such as the sun or moon on its right side. This method works well as long as the source of light remains constant and at a distance. If an insect encounters a round incandescent porch light, however, it becomes confused by the light source. It will continue to circle a light because it instinctively wants to keep the light on a certain side of its body while navigating.
For Kids:
They can find their way. The light Looks like the moon of sun. The bug becomes confused by the light. It will go around the light because the want to keep the light on a side of their body while searching around it.
Mosquitos don't really have a level of consumption. Mosquitos are parasites, meaning they live off of another organism. In this case, they live off the blood of humans and other animals.
small containers of water, mosquitoes breed in them.
Diseases spread by mosquitoes need to be able to replicate inside the mosquito. Not all viruses, bacteria, or other organisms are capable of replicating in mosquitoes. Malaria and Dengue and Yellow fever have part of their life cycle in mosquitoes, and are able to infect them and replicate in them. HIV, on the other hand, cannot replicate in mosquitoes, because it has no proteins with which to bind to any mosquito cells. HIV can be ingested by a mosquito, but it can't infect the mosquito and replicate in it, so the mosquito can't spread HIV. Not all viruses are carried by mosquitos.
If they didn't have any predators, I think we'd have a pretty serious mosquito problem on our hands. The typical answers come to mind--birds and bats--but I'm sure there are many others. I looked up a few journal articles that may interest you.

I just watched two flies mate on my patio in Manhattan! They were doing it the same way we do it. The male (well I'm assuming it was the male) was behind the female... They performed this act for 4 hours! I was in shock!-No, the male puts his "finger" into the female and they dance with it in still.
No, they usually don't eat once adults they just breed and die, if they do eat they eat nectar. As larvae they eat what most larvae do, roots and other vegetation in the soil.
The best way to reduce mosquito populations is by eliminating their breeding grounds, which can be any pool of standing water larger than a few square centimeters where they can lay their eggs. Standing water should be drained or treated. This includes places such as under flowerpots, in umbrella holders, outdoor privies, old tires or fish tanks, and drainage areas from air conditioning systems. Small ponds or swampy areas should be treated to prevent mosquitoes eggs from being laid or hatched.

I've just been scratching my bites like crazy. I had 15 on one foot and 4 on the other and just had a 20 minute walk home during which I got another 9 or so...
Couldn't stop scratching - and I'm especially sensitive, so they really swell up... So googled and found that tea tree oil and toothpaste relieve itchiness. Figured it can't hurt to try, so I put on my tea tree oil toothpaste (natural) and instant relief! Never had this in my life. No 'AfterBite' or any other 'Bite Relief Creams' ever worked for me...
A keystone species is one that other lifeforms in an ecosystem depend on. Mosquitoes are a keystone species because they are extremely low on the food chain, and if they were removed from an ecosystem, the food supply would be interrupted.
Mosquito bites can cause septicemia indirectly. A mosquito bite can cause malaria, which can quickly turn into sepsis. Sepsis is the body's often deadly response to infection or injury.
Of course, cow manure contains phosporensce which emulsify and coagulate amongst the masses. After a few days of curing, the cow manure should be bathed in a salt solution, and then that mixture put into a spray bottle. Then one can spray it on one's ankles and this will keep the mosquitoes away. It's advised to only spray it on your ankles or below.
chickens are really cool and no body is afraid but me of wacko chicken costumes
bt asdlf
lets try to be a little bit more serious and mature when answering questions? its not hard.
anyways blue is a dark color which holds heat, mosquitoes sense heat. dark colors make it easier to find you
