There are approximately 2,700 species of mosquito in the world; the three most significant genera are the Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex as these types of mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting various diseases that are hazardous to mankind
Mosquitoes belong to the order Diptera, the True Flies. Like all True Flies, they have two wings, but unlike other flies, mosquito wings have scales. Female mosquitoes’ mouthparts form a long piercing-sucking proboscis. Males differ from females by having feathery antennae and mouthparts not suitable for piercing skin
The most dangerous types of mosquito, the Aedes is anthropophagic, that is, it feeds on the blood of humans and only the female mosquito bites
It transmits among humans menacing diseases such as yellow fever and dengue fever, and can also cause lymphatic filariasis, an illness that can trigger elephantiasis in certain cases
The only reason why i dared to stand close to take this quickie shot was b'cause i was wearing a mosquito repellant watch
