Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes feed on blood by sucking from the hosts body by means of a fine tube called the proboscus. This syringe like tube is very sharp, it is inserted into the skin at the selected site. An anti-coagulant is squirted into the area to prevent clotting of the blood until the mosquito has fed. It is an intolerance, or allergy, to this anti-coagulant that causes the annoying itch later.

Yes you could but it matters which type of mosquito you are referring to. some mosquitoes are harmless. it is usually the hairy or striped ones that could cause death or rather dengue. there are also other kinds of mosquitoes that could kill you for example the malarial mosquito in Mumbai.

Female mosquitos suck blood to feed their babies. They soon die after that.

The largest species of mosquito is the Toxorhynchites speciosus, which dwells in Australia and can reach up to 1.5 inches. Luckily for the Australians, however, their diet consists of plant juices and nectar.

Only the female is capable of drinking blood, an act called haematophagy. Females do not require blood to survive, but they need supplements, such as protein and iron, to enable them to develop and lay their eggs to reproduce and make some more mosquitoes.WHY DO MOSQUITOES NEED YOUR BLOOD

Mosquitos drink both clean and dirty water.... I think :)

A mosquito tends to hover as it flies. Mosquitoes do not wriggle in the way that snakes or worms move.

it's simple all you have to do is either rub lotion on your bite or you could rub ice or something cold on your bite , like frozen food like frozen peas, frozen meat ,or anything cold. I suggest you keep it on for 5 minutes then keep it off for 5 minutes. If that doesn't work then wash with water then rub with soap. THANK YOU.

Green mosquitoes themselves are not dangerous or poisonous. However, they have been known to carry some infectious diseases that are dangerous to humans and animals.

Every mosquito can bite and pierce human skin. When feeding on human blood, mosquitoes pierce the skin and trigger histamines in the body.

Mosquitoes are insects they might be asexual or sexual animals, but in scientific explanations they usually breed in waters especially contaminated with bacteria.

-edit-

I've seen mosquitos having sex in the middle of the air, floating together. And I've seen mosquitos' larvae in water... my hypothesis/conclusion is: They reproduce in the middle of the air and then the female search for water to put the eggs.

no only females so they could lay their eggs

I don't know for a fact that it does but my hunch would be that it does. Ammonia is the active ingredient in what people often call "smelling salt" and when inhaled, it triggers a quite unpleasant reaction in any air breathing animal. I once let my cat smell some smelling salt and she turned and ran the other way.

Also I was spelunking last week and it wasn't until I got into a cave and mosquitos swarmed me that I realized I forgot bug repellant. So, thinking quickly, I grabbed my stick of afterbite from my first aid kit (which contains a high amount of ammonia) and rubbed it on my arms and neck. Suffice to say I didn't smell great, however, I don't have a single bite. So my theory is that yes, ammonia can repel mosquitos.

One material mosquitoes are attracted to diffusing throughout the skin is amino acids. Another thing mosquitoes are attracted to are steroids.

While it may seem as though mosquitoes hatch when there is rain, this is not the case. After it rains, shallow, still puddles called vernal pools form where mosquitoes lay their eggs and reproduce. Their life cycle is very quick and therefore it may seem as though they hatch when it rains.

Adult female mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water or on aquatic plants. There are 2500 different species of mosquitoes. The most obvious types are Culex mosquitoes which lay an egg raft (attached eggs) in stagnant water. The raft will consist of 100-300 eggs, and the female will be able to produce one raft every third night during her life.

mosuitos feed at night. if they are in your bedroom as you sleep, you are an attractant because they are drawn to carbon dioxide, which you exhale continuously as you enjoy a fitfull sleep. case closed.

Smoke only repels mosquitoes. Mosquitoes leave the place where there is smoke primarily the smoke made by dry leaves of any kind. Smoke from burning papers for card boards will hardly repel mosquitoes. Smoke from Coconut shell and the outer hairy content (i dont know the exact term of it) which is removed from coconut before using it will make mosquitoes vacate the area temporily. All these are temporary solutions.

one is nymph & the other one isn't.wriggle just wriggles like a wriggler

Bedbugs don't rely on direct oxygenation the way mammals or even most insects do. Instead, they derive oxygen through a hybrid mechanism -- both through their exoskeletons as in the case of most insects but primarily through the consumption of human blood.

Therefore, swallowing a bedbug will not necessarily kill it. Instead, because bedbugs feed typically at night -- i.e., in darkness -- the bedbug will continue to feed at leisure on your tender and sensitive internal tissues unless or until such time as it reaches your stomach and is digested. It can leave dozens, hundreds or even thousands of bites all along the way. If you believe you have swallowed a bedbug, you should dial 9-1-1 immediately and go to the emergency room. It is most likely that a qualified physician will induce vomiting, but you must be firm and insistent. In extreme cases, the anesthetic effect of bedbug bites may cause difficulty in triggering the reflex that leads to vomiting, in which case ordinary methods of inducing vomiting, such as ipecac or nude photos of Bea Arthur may be ineffective. In such extreme circumstances, it may be necessary to request that a nurse or other medical staff member punch you in the stomach until the desired result is achieved.

Sometimes. A mosquito killer may be a larger mosquito who kills smaller ones, or otherwise could be another bug, bird, ect. that just finds mosquitos tasty.

The larva that emerges out of every egg is known as a wriggler. The wriggler floats upside down to the surface of the water. It breathes through a breathing tube that is at the end of its abdomen. The breathing tube protrudes from the surface of the water, allowing the wriggler to breathe.
