The Best Guess For The Scientific Name Of A Mosquito Is Culicidae
What is the name of a mosquito's mouth?

Spiders and scorpions are both types of "arachnids." Spiders are of the class Araneae.
The class name Arachnida and order Araneae come from the Greek word for spider (aráchnē), based on a story from ancient Greek times. Arachne was a woman who challenged the goddess Athena to a weaving competition, but lost and was cursed to live as a spider. (In another version of the story, Arachne won, and it was Athena's jealousy that provoked the curse.)
What is the binomial name for a mosquito?
There is no binomial name for a mosquito. Mosquitoes are members of the insect Order Diptera, which contains flies. Mosquitoes are also membersof the family Culicidae. Binomials are reserved for species names, and as such, each mosquito species would have its own unique binomial. The complete mosquito species name would also include the author of the species name. Hence a mosquito binomial might be Culex pipiens Linnaeus would be the complete name for a species of the genus Culex.
Another Answer There are 3100 species of mosquito Order Diptera Some genera are Culex AnophelesToxorhynchites
Because that answer for "poems on behavior" is such a broad and general range, I would suggest getting many poem books stuffed full of different poems. You can also look up poems online. You could even make your own poems, if you'd like. But there are so many, it should not be difficult to find.
Yes, mosquitoes mate in order to reproduce. Male mosquitoes typically locate and mate with a female mosquito in order to fertilize her eggs. This process is essential for the continuation of the mosquito species.
Do mosquitoes sting more than once?
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.

What should you do if bitten by a green fly?
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.
