Mosquitoes

3 minutes to a year

you will sometimes hear the males buzzing in your ear and that their way of calling their females to come and bite you....

Yes. My mother has been practicing this for many, many years now. Indigenous knowledge? Probably. According to her, this practice is common in their barangay since she was young. She is now 67 years old and she came from a rice farming community in Cagayan Valley. She puts few fresh leaves of pomelo depending on the amount of rice to be poured in our rice dispenser and it works! No bugs in our rice. You just have to change the pomelo leaves every time you put another sack of rice in your dispenser.

rub some sperm on the wound until it starts to feel better!

Because the mosquito's saliva includes an anesthetic.

The frost would kill mosquitoes if they were out in the frost. However, mosquitoes hibernate before the first frost hits.

Some lay eggs on the surface of the water while others will lay eggs in the wet, boggy ground surrounding water. They survive on micro organisms when they hatch in the water. Parents do not feed their young.

Fish control mosquitoes by preying on their larval freshwater-dwelling stages

It causes a disease called malaria,i think!!!

The anopheles mosquito's carries the disease of yellow fever

malaria - assuming it was an infected carrier

Some- It is commonly known to work on fleas for example.

Insects that have the ability to walk on water have feet that are spread very far apart. This allows their weight to be distributed over a larger area and stops them from breaking the surface tension of water molecules sticking together.

All they need is temperatures above the freezing point of water, and about a teaspoon of still water to lay eggs in for the larvae to hatch, they come out hungry and seem to be able to fly an obscenely long way before they have to feed on blood. Then again, they will feed on anything that doesn't eat them, and one study I have read seems to indicate that they can even drink plant sap once in a while. I'll see if I can find it again and include it as a link.

Malaria

Yellow Fervor

West Nile Virus

these diseases find a hospitable haven in the mosquito's saliva reserve. Mosquitoes use their saliva as a pain-killer and as an anti-coagulant so they actually push some into its victim when they bite. When a mosquito bits an infected animal it sucks these disease into its saliva space. When it bites an uninfected victim it pushes infected saliva into it/him/her.

what kind of bird eat mosquito's ? they live in hollowed gords.

A few possible answers:

Armadillo

Millipede

Snakes

ANSWER: Mosquitoes are attracted to the color blue because it is the brightest color they can see so if they cant smell you they can see you. So mosquitoes are attracted to lighter colors more.

"Do mosquitoes ever get to sleep at night?" Generally no. Mosquitoes are by nature nocturnal creatures. "Most mosquito species are either nocturnal or crepuscular and remain relatively inactive during the daylight hours." "Natural resting sites for mosquitoes include dense vegetation, animal bur-rows, caves, and tree holes. Basements, stables, chicken coops, and culverts are examples of man-made structures harboring large diurnal populations of resting mosquitoes."

Use Calomine lotion (i'm not sure that's how you spell it) also if you rub it instead of itching it you won't damage it as much so it will heal faster

Also Try Hand Sanitizer... But don't put it on if has broken the skin or bleeding... It can really sting you can even put windex but not if its broken skin or bleeding -With your fingernail mark an X over it.

Apply nail polish to the bite and leave until the itch fades, it is believed this method works by keeping air from the bite.

esta pagina es un asco no pueden decirme nada del bumblebee.

pero tambien es un poco buena xq me ayudo a hacer mi tarea mas rapido.

asi q esta pagina es buena y mala al mismo tiempo. :)

Some tips on avoiding being bitten: At home: * Put screens on doors and windows * Use sprays indoors when mosquitoes are around * Use mosquito coils * Use a mosquito net impregnated with insecticide over beds at night * Turn on air conditioning if you have it - this is very effective at keeping mosquitoes out of a room Outdoors: * Wear a repellent cream or spray preferably containing DEET (diethyl toluamide); formulations containing less than 35% DEET are recommended because higher concentrations are no more effective (they just work for longer) but in rare cases may cause poisoning. Repellent should not be applied to wounds or irritated skin. * Vitamin B does not prevent mosquito bites. * Wear protective clothing such as long sleeved shirts, long pants and hats to minimise skin exposure. Clothing can be treated with repellent. * Wear light coloured clothing - ticks and other insects are more easily detected on a light background and tsetse flies are attracted to dark, contrasting colours. * Use screens on tents * Avoid places where mosquitoes are most active, such as swampy areas

Misquitoes are just as important as you,they Effect the enviroment,And With Out Them Fish Wuld,nt Have any Thing To Eat And No Fish,no fisherman,no fisherman,No Fish Sales,N Fish Sales No Money,No money No Bait(Misquitoes,or worms,Ect)No Fish,and Ect Ect.So Misquitos Are Just As Beutiful and Special and Important as You.Thank You:)

Answer 2:

Mosquitoes, gnats, fleas and many other little critters all played a crucial role in the evolution of many species. They transferrred nasty plagues, diseases, infections and other epidemics which kept many species numbers to a minimum until, by natural immunity and selection, won out. New viruses are constantly emerging as have been happenning lately and for the past billion or more years.

It has only been a few millenia since humans began utilising remedial medicines such as herbs, tree bark and other means, that the human race (aptly named) began an unprecedented population increase. With our advanced medical technology, and extended life span, we are the only mamalian species to have conquered most diseases that otherwise would have possibly seen the human population at about one tenth, possibly even one onehundreth of what it is today. Who knows what toll the bird flu, HIV, new strains of influenza, the Plague, and a host of others would have wreaked.

So, the natural purpose of these critters is now largely defunct with humans, and, in return, we humans are killing everything on the planet, either directly or indirectly.

Food for thought.

Like many species of mosquitoes, Aedes breeds around and lays their eggs in stagnant water. This can include lakes, ponds, puddles, rainwater collected for drinking and slow-moving non-turbulent portions of creeks, streams and rivers.

The wings beat 300-600 times per second. When you hear something it means something is vibrating. So you can hear mosquito's buzzing because of the vibration of its wings, but you cant hear the movement of your hand because it does not vibrate.
