Mosquito
Mosquitoes are blood-sucking flying insects with a wingspan of 6-8 mm. They are slender insects with long legs. Females need a blood meal to be able to lay eggs, while the males feed on nectar and plant sap. Eggs are laid in standing water and both the larvae and pupae are water-living. Some species favour human habitats and others are bush-loving.
Female mosquitoes require a blood meal before she can lay eggs; this brings her in direct contact with humans or animals. Bites are a nuisance to people, often with local welting, but the most important aspect regarding mosquitoes, is the fact that they transmit several diseases including malaria and Rift Valley fever.
