Mosquito
N:lme: AH)VI b
The mosquito is a common flying insect that is found around the world. There are about
2.700 species of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can fly about I to 1.5 miles per hour (1.6-2.4 kpl

Mosquito Bites:
Females drink blood and the nectar of plants; the males only sip plant nectar. When a fema
bites, she also injects an anticoagulant (anti-clotting chemical) into the prey to keep the
victim's blood flowing. She finds her victims by sight and smell, and also by detecting their
warmth. Not all mosquito species bite humans.

Disease Carrier:
The mosquito is often a carrier of diseases, such as malaria, encephalitis, yellow fever, den
fever, dog heartworm, West Nile virus, and many others. The females, who drink blood, c;
carry disease from one animal to another as they feed.

Anatomy:
Like all insects, the mosquito has a body divided into three parts (head, thorax, and
abdomen), a hard exoskeleton, and six long, jointed legs. Mosquitoes also have a pair of
veined wings. They have a straw-like proboscis and can only eat liquids.
