5 things to know about Mosquito's

 Here are five key things to know about mosquitoes:

1. Blood-Feeding Behavior: Only female mosquitoes feed on blood. They require it for egg production, while male mosquitoes primarily feed on nectar.

2. Disease Transmission: Mosquitoes are vectors for several dangerous diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and West Nile virus. The diseases are transmitted through their bites when they feed on infected hosts.

3. Life Cycle: Mosquitoes undergo a four-stage life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. They typically breed in stagnant water, which is essential for the larval stage.

4. Attraction to Hosts: Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide, body heat, and certain chemicals in sweat, such as lactic acid. People with higher body temperatures or more active sweat glands tend to attract more mosquitoes.

5. Global Distribution: Mosquitoes are found all over the world, with some species thriving in tropical and subtropical regions, while others adapt to temperate climates. Their ability to breed in diverse environments makes them one of the most widespread insects on the planet.
