What are mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes are common insects which are found outdoors. At present there are 3,500 species of mosquitoes in the world. There are 13 mosquito generals in United States of America. Mosquitoes have mouthparts which are adapted for piercing the skin of humans and animals. The males feed on nectar and plant juices while the females feed on blood meals of living beings. As far as the life cycle of any mosquito is considered, it consist of four stages namely: egg, larva, pupa and adult or imago. The first three stages are aquatic and last for 5-14 days. In its first stage the female mosquito lays her egg in still water which may be a lake, a natural reservoir or an artificial water container such as a plastic bucket, after this egg hatches to become larva which is followed by pupae. At last the adult comes out of pupa and lives for 4-8 weeks.
