Mosquito

The Fascinating World of Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes, from the Culicidae family, thrive globally except Antarctica, with over 3,500 species. Only females bite, needing blood for egg development, spreading diseases like malaria and dengue, making them deadly, causing millions of deaths yearly. Their lifecycle—eggs in stagnant water, larvae feeding on algae, pupae, then winged adults—showcases rapid metamorphosis. With slender bodies, long legs, and a proboscis, they detect carbon dioxide and heat to navigate. Both sexes sip nectar, aiding minor pollination, while serving as food for birds and bats. Despite being pests, they’re ecosystem players, with science like CRISPR targeting their disease spread.
