    Mosquitos

    Mosquitos: What you need to know

    Identifying Characteristics

    • Mosquitos are ⅛ – ¾ inches in length
    • They are easily identified by their long piercing proboscis (an elongated sucking mouthpart that is typically tubular and flexible)
    • After feeding on warm-blooded creatures, they will generally leave a small red itchy bump
    • The males and females can be differentiated by their antennae: males’ are bushy and females’ are not

    Active Season

    • Mosquitos are active during the warmer and more humid months

    Interesting Facts

    • Mosquitos are attracted to dark clothing
    • They use heat sensors around their mouth to detect a person’s body heat

    Cause for Concern

    • Mosquitos can carry and transmit several lethal diseases such as Malaria or West Nile virus
    • Their regular non-disease transmitting bites can still be extremely itchy and irritating
