Mosquitoes

A symbiotic relationship implies that both species need each other to survive and benefit each other in different ways. A mosquito eats from a man or animal, and man needs the mosquito to maintain ecosystem balance as one of the lower members of the food chain.

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/47518/home_remedies_to_get_rid_of_mosquitoes.html this article suggests fabric softener sheets, vanilla extract, fans when sitting outdoors and spraying a beer mixture around the yard. maybe these are good ways to keep your kids and animals safe while not using harmful chemicals. still, i haven't tested these methods so i don't know that they work.

Male mosquitos are smaller and do not bite animals nor do they suck blood. Only females give you a mosquito bite.

The Anopheles mosquito is one example but there are many others.

If the mosquito is female, then it drinks blood. That's only to give energy to the developing eggs inside it. But if the mosquito is male, then it eats fruit. The male ones are the gigantic mosquitoes that look like there going to kill you.

You may think all mosquitoes are out to get you, but that's simply not true. Similar to other insect species like the praying mantis, only female mosquitoes are a threat to humans. As you read through the differences between female mosquitoes and male mosquitoes, be prepared for some surprises! * Both male and female mosquitoes eat flower nectar for nourishment * Female mosquitoes bite humans and animals so they can receive protein. This protein helps them lay eggs, thus bringing more blood-sucking mosquitoes into the world * A female mosquito has a ridged proboscis to pierce human and animal skin. Because of the serrated edges of her proboscis, her bite usually goes undetected until the itchiness sets in * A male mosquito has a proboscis, but it does not have ragged edges for biting * Male mosquitoes are slightly smaller than females * Only female mosquitoes make that annoying mosquito sound that puts you on red alert It's amazing to see the difference genders can make, isn't it!? Now you can rest at ease when you see a mosquito that doesn't make noise and only save your jumping for those pesky females that love to buzz before they bite.

Almost everything a mosquito does could be considered an adaptation. The hum they make helps males find females with which to mate. Mosquito eggs thrive in still, cool water, ensuring that they survive unfavorable weather conditions.

Hi! I am a beekeeper. Bees have lots of eyes to see with. They can see your eyes, too, as that is a favorite target when they are mad. They will come for you eyes first if they are mad at you. I know this. I have had them come at my eyes when unprotected. Also, they may not sting you in the eyes, but something they emit does get in my eyes from time to time, and I have not even been stung. It makes my eyes swell shut, quite painful, and blinds me temporarily. This does not happen often though. In my almost 40 years of keeping these amazing creatures, I can count the times of being stung in the eyes on only one hand. No fear though. Mostly, bees are not aggressive and not really wanting to sting. If bees can see small flowerettes and the place to suck out the nectar, I believe they can see quite well. They have eyes that can see up and down and straight forward and all around. Yes, bees can see quite well. When they leave the hive, they circle around and look at the home they are leaving so that they might easily remember where to return. They spiral up, then zoom off in a straight "beeline" to the nectar source. In flowers that are quite large like honeysuckle, they do not go down into the flower as it is long,trumpet-shaped and a place where they could easily be trapped by other insects coming into the flower and wanting to eat them. Other creatures love to eat bees, especially skunks and birds. Why not? They really are nice little sacs full of fresh nectar which is busily and automatically being turned into fresh honey in her honey pouch even as she is collecting it and while flying back to the hive. So, she will poke a hole near the apex of the honeysuckle bloom right through the side of the flower to suck out the nectar. Next time you see honeysuckle, take a look at the hole that most all of the flowers have in the side where the bees have poked through. This way, they can also see predators approaching and not get caught deep inside the honeysuckle bloom. Yes, bees can see quite well. They have compound and simple seeing equipment. Why it seems as if most of their heads are one giant eye!

If mosquitoes were to disappear completely, animals that eat them might have trouble getting enough food. The list of mosquito eaters includes frogs, bats, birds, and fish. Even as disease carriers, mosquitoes have a natural function. "They are one of those things whose job it is to keep [populations] in check,"

Mosquitoes are little bugs that bite. The females live on blood the males may drink blood but the do not live on it as females do. They are pest but they are here for a reason, that I can not tell you.

By asking you (yes you) if you really need to know that.

Flycatchers, nighthawks, bats, praying mantises, frogs, toads, salamanders, dragonflies, damselflies, etc.

Mosquitos like hot, warm weather. By September it is starting to cool off, while they may not be as prevalent, they are still around.

Mosquito bites itch, but you don't want to scratch them -- that will just make things worse. You can get anti-itch creams at drug stores. The bites will usually heal after a couple of days.

If you got bitten so badly that you feel sick or dizzy, you will have to see a doctor.

a math book. easy

Dragonflies and maybe bats prey on the mosquito.

egg , larva,pupa then adult

Pesticides designed to kill insects may be more likely to harm lobsters and crabs than fish because insects are more closely related to crabs and lobsters. Insects, crabs and lobsters are all arthropods, while fish are not.

Clap your hands on it. That's the simplest answer i can give.

if you are allergic to mosquitoes

Male mosquitoes feed on flower nectar. Blood contains the nutrients required for the female to lay eggs. When she isn't reproducing, the female mosquito will also feed on flower nectar.

male and female mosquitoes don't mate. the female mosquito gets blood from a human to produce eggs near water or in humid places (like beach bathrooms since they're usually extremely humid in there). male mosquitoes are basically useless. they don't have penises and females don't have vaginas so there's no real sexual reproduction. male mosquitoes don't bite, either. they suck nectar. that's why there's a joke.. "if you see a giant mosquito on you, it's a transexual"

There are 4 stages in a mosquito's life cycle .a egg then a larva then a pupa then a mosquito.
