What is a Mosquito?
Mosquitoes are small flying insects known for their buzzing sound and ability to bite. Only female mosquitoes bite, using their long mouthpart called a proboscis to drink blood, which helps them lay eggs. Males mostly drink nectar from flowers. Mosquitoes live near water because their eggs hatch in still water like ponds, puddles, or marshes. They can be found all over the world and are most active at dawn and dusk. Despite their tiny size, mosquitoes play a role in the ecosystem as food for birds, bats, and other insects.
