An Adult Mosquito, Especially A Female, Is Recognized To Have Long Proboscis For Piercing And Sucking Blood, Or, In The Case Of Males, To Suck Nectars And Other Plant Juices. All Mosquitoes Develop Through An Aquatic Larval Stage, And All Belong To A Relatively Large And Well-known Group With Nearly 3000 Species In 34 Genera Reported All Throughout The World. In North America North Of Mexico Alone, There Are 13 Genera And 167 Recognized Mosquito Species Myriad Of Species That Are Vectors Of Diseases Such As Malaria And Yellow Fever. An Adult Female Mosquito Will Lay Their Eggs On Or Near Water. The Larvae, Or Wrigglers, Will Feed On Algae And Organic Debris That They Filter From The Water. Both Larvae And Pupae Usually Breathe Through Air Tubes At The Surface Of The Water Before Theyre Grown Enough To Fly And Feed. By That Time The Female Ones Will Be Living Longer Than Males To Suck Blood To Reproduce. Females Also Feed On Nectar Like The Non-blood Eating Males Do As Primary Energy Source, But They Require A Blood Meal For Egg Production. So Simple Their Metamorphosis And Life Cycle Though So Much Threatening.Mosquitoes Are Of Major Significant To Health In Both Humans And Animals. Mosquitoes Have Survived For Over 30 Million Years And Have Evolved Overtime With A Variety Of Sensors Designed To Track Their Prey Humans. Of All Of The Harmful Creatures On Earth, The Mosquito Probably Presents The Greatest Threat To Mankind. They Can Cause Annoyance, Severe Irritation, And They Act As Vectors Of Three Important Disease-causing Organisms: Plasmodium, The Protozoan Parasite Causing Malaria; Filarial Worm Or Parasitic Nematodes Causing Elephantiasis In Humans And Heartworm Disease In Canines; And Arboviruses, Which Are The Agents Of Yellow Fever, Dengue Fever, LaCrosse Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, Western Equine Encephalomyelitis, Eastern And Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis, And Several Other Viral Diseases; And With The Most Casualty-producing Human Malaria Being Transmitted Exclusively By Anopheles Mosquitoes, Filariasis Diseases By Culex, Anopheles, And Aedes, And Arboviruses Primarily By Culex And Aedes Mosquito Species.Small As It Is, The Mosquitos Complex Characteristics Ironically Make Them Even Comparable To Their Human Victims Cause Of Death, Disease, Environment Exploitation, And Vigorous Competition. The Only Difference Though Is That Theyre Here To Stay. Some Of Them Able To Reproduce Without Blood, And Will Thrive On Even Without Anymore Humans Left As Prey.
