Mosquitoes 'horror' do not crave human blood

Snow mosquitoes, water mosquitoes, midges Midge . are mosquitoes that do not suck human blood but are often "killed" by humans.

Did you know that not all mosquitoes know how to burn and often only female mosquitoes like to suck blood, and male mosquitoes like to smoke nectar like bees and butterflies? Here are some species of mosquitoes that do not know how to burn people, but are very good at . people "beating" wrongly without mercy.

1. Snow mosquito

Although they are called mosquitoes, they are actually an insect that doesn't like to suck human blood. Snow mosquitoes grow very weak, sometimes eating mosquitoes larvae, or almost eating nothing but maintaining life only by drinking water in ice and snow. That is the reason they are given by scientists to the very beautiful name - snow mosquito.

Snow mosquitoes grow and mate to maintain the race and die very quietly. The average size of this insect is in the range of 2 to 60mm, but there are also snow mosquito individuals found to have a stride of up to 10cm, which is why we mistakenly refer to it as a giant mosquito.

One feature that snow mosquitoes differ from other mosquito mosquitoes is that it has smooth wings, no wing edges. Besides, when parked, their bodies are always straight and not folded like ordinary mosquitoes.

2. Mosquitoes Midge

With the naked eye, midge looks like Midge very much like the mosquitoes that hate us daily, but Midge does not like to burn people and does not spread the disease.

The midge Midge tends to live in herds and is extremely attracted to light, especially the light of . insect trap lights. You may not know this, but most of the mosquitoes you see sacrificed in the mosquito catchers are mosquito mites and they are completely harmless to us.

The characteristic of this midget species is that its wings are quite short, not covering the whole body. In addition, it has no hose - an alibi for stings.

Like snow mosquitoes, the wings of the midget Midge do not have an outer edge and veins; When resting, their bodies will lie flat, the chest touches the flat surface it is lying on, rather than forming a kinked corner like a mosquito bites a human.

3. Water mosquitoes

As a larvae, the water mosquito with the scientific name Pontomyia lives in saltwater stagnant areas, eating algae and even rotting wood. It is also the only insect on the planet that can live in saltwater.

As adults, male mosquitoes move on the water by standing upright on their hind legs and using their 2 front legs as two tiny paddles that help them slide forward.

Female mosquitoes don't even have wings and legs, they simply float on the water and wait for the male mosquito to carry them. And when we see the 'lovers' of water mosquitoes gliding across the water, this is when they are rejoicing in the love song named . mating to maintain the race.

4. Mosquito Culiseta

This is a mosquito that is able to adapt to cold environments and only appears at times of low temperatures during the year. Culiseta mosquitoes are often found in marshes, ponds and ditches, but some Culiseta species in Africa breed in tree niches. This mosquito is present all over the world but it cannot withstand the temperature and environment of South America.

Culiseta never lives and earns herds, like other mosquitoes, Culiseta male mosquitoes do not suck blood but only suck pistils, while female mosquitoes do not burn but are interested in parasites on birds and reptiles.

After eating a full meal, female mosquitoes will fly to find a suitable place to spawn, each time the female Culiseta can lay up to 300 eggs and they will fly around and spread descendants in radius of about 100km from the first spawning place.
