Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are a broad group of insects, including many species. Between 1/8" and 3/8" long, these little buzzing pests can have a variety of colors and markings. A little known fact about mosquitoes is that most species feed on nectar, and only the females bite. Most species of mosquitoes come out at dusk to feed. When they bite, they can cause an itchy reaction. Not only are these bites a nuisance, they can be a means to spread disease such as malaria. Mosquitoes can fly a long distance from where they hatch, one of the reasons the are difficult to control. Mosquito eggs hatch out of stagnant water - typically water that sits over a week and contains organic matter. Clean, moving water isn't a good habitat for the larvae, and doesn't encourage reproduction.
