Specific malaria-carrying insects: Mosquitoes


There are about 2,000 species of mosquitoes in the world.

Mosquitoes can detect human body odor, carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity and adapt to it.

Mosquitoes fly at a speed of about one and a half kilometers per hour. It flutters its wings, makes a croaking noise and flies.

Blood is not the food of mosquitoes, only female mosquitoes suck human blood to nourish the eggs. While the water coming out of the second sting prevents the blood from clotting.

Mosquitoes can detect human odors up to 50 feet away.

Mosquitoes are more attracted to moisture and brown color.

Mosquitoes have 5 teeth.
