www.Primo.com: Did You Know About Mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes are insects belonging to the order Diptera; genera include Anopheles, Culex, Psorophora, Ochlerotatus, Aedes, Sabethes, Wyeomyia, Culiseta, and Haemagoggus for an aggregate amount of about 35 genera that summarizes 2700 species. Mosquitoes have two wings scaly, slim body, and six feet long; interspecies varies but rarely exceeds 15 mm.
In English, the mosquito is known as the "Mosquito", is derived from a word in Spanish or Portuguese, which means small flies. The use of the word Mosquito started since the year 1583. In the United Kingdom mosquito known as gnats.
In the female mosquito, mouth parts form a long proboscis to pierce the skin of mammals (or in some cases birds or even reptiles and amphibians) to suck blood. Female mosquitoes need protein for egg formation and therefore mosquito diet consists of honey and fruit juices, which do not contain protein, mostly blood-sucking female mosquitoes need to obtain the necessary protein. Males differ from female mosquitoes, with mouth parts not suitable for blood sucking. Rather complicated female mosquitoes of the genus, Toxorhynchites, never suck blood. This large mosquito larvae are predators of mosquito larvae others.

Female mosquitoes.

Reproduction.

Mosquitoes experienced four stages in the life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Tempo first three ranks depending on the species - and temperature. Only female mosquitoes who suck the blood of their prey. and it has absolutely nothing to do with eating. Because, in fact, both males and females eat the liquid nectar of flowers. because the female mosquitoes nourish their eggs. The eggs of the mosquitoes need protein found in blood to develop.
Phase mosquito development from egg to become adult mosquitoes is fabulous. Mosquito eggs are usually laid on damp leaves or dried ponds. Site selection is done by the parent mosquitoes by using the existing receptors under her abdomen. These receptors function as temperature and humidity sensor. Once a place is found, the mother mosquito began incubating eggs. The eggs of less than 1 mm, arranged in a striped, either in groups or one by one. Some mosquito species lay their eggs close together to form a raft that could consist of 300 eggs.
Done it, the eggs during the incubation period is (incubation). In this period, perfect incubation occurs in winter. Once the larvae start out from their eggs all in about the same time. Mosquitoes child or ENCU Until this growth cycle is completed in its entirety. Mosquito larvae will change its skin as many as two times.
Finished shedding its skin, mosquitoes are in the transition phase. This phase is called "pupa". In this phase, the mosquitoes are very susceptible to leaks pupa. In order to survive, before pupae ready to change skin one last time, two pipe mosquitoes appeared on the water. The pipe used for breathing apparatus.
Mosquito pupa in a cocoon that is quite mature and ready to fly with all its organs such as antennae, trunks, feet, chest, wings, abdomen and large eyes that covered most of his head. then cocoon pupa torn at the top. Level when mosquitoes that have emerged are full most dangerous level.
Mosquitoes have to get out of the water without direct contact with the water, so that only her feet were touching the water surface. This speed is essential, although the thin wind can cause death. Finally, mosquitoes took off for its maiden flight after about half an hour break.
Culex tarsalis can complete its life cycle in 14 days at 20 ° C and only ten days at a temperature of 25 ° C. Most species have a life cycle as short as four days or up to one month. Mosquito larvae are known as larvae and found to be in any former contains water. Larvae breathe through air ducts which are at the tail end. Pupa usually as active larvae, but breathe through the horn thorakis contained in the bight thorakis. Most larvae eat the microorganisms, but some larvae are predators for larvae of other species. Some mosquito larvae as Wyeomia live in exceptional circumstances. Larvae of these species live in stagnant water in epiphytic plants or in stagnant water in a pot tree apes. Wiggler Deinocerites genus species living in the hive crabs along the coast.

Epidemic of a disease.

Most modern mosquito group no longer depend on insect toxins harmful but lead to specific organisms that eat mosquitoes, or infecting them with diseases that kill them. Things like that can happen even in the Protected Areas, such as "Forsyth refuge" and the Seaview Marriott Golf Resort, where a flock of major mosquito implemented and monitored using "killifish" and young eels. The impression in the document by using advanced microscope under water as ecoSCOPE. However, outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases still cause ejection with chemicals that are less toxic than those used in the past.
Dragonflies, also known as mosquito hawk a memorable escort agency. Dragonfly larvae (naiads) eating larvae in water storage as well as adult dragonflies hunt and eat adult mosquitoes, especially the Asian tiger mosquito that flew during the day. Ejection mosquitoes could aggravate the situation and increase the mosquito population within a long-term future if it were Ejection was eliminated Almi dragonflies and other predators.
Most mosquitoes capable of transmitting diseases such as malaria protozoa, filarial diseases such as elephantiasis, and congenital diseases such as yellow fever virus, dengue fever, encephalitis, and West Nile virus. West Nile virus is spread inadvertently to the United States in 1999 and in 2003 had spread to all the states in the United States.
Weight mosquitoes only 2 to 2.5 mg. Mosquitoes are able to fly between 1.5 to 2.5 km / h.
Mosquito repellent usually have the following active ingredients: DEET, Catnip oil distillates - Nepetalactone, Citronella or eucalyptus oil distillates.

Causes itching.

Mosquitoes can always find a target precisely because they saw the movement, body heat and body odor. When a mosquito landed on her body pressed straw-like mouth which is also called proboscis. Then there is the knife that will tear the victim's skin back and forth to find the vein, after which new blood that is sucked. In the process of mosquitoes also secrete saliva, which contains anticoagulants to prevent blood clot which he smoked. This process is rapid and as if the process that occurs when the body is pierced mosquito is not so, we dissect mosquitoes like a surgeon quickly and accurately. After mosquitoes gorged he would revoke probiosis and fly. Mosquito saliva left on the victim's skin to stimulate the body like foreign objects interfere, there was a process known as allergy, and what happens is the bumps and itching.

Mosquito repellent plants.

There are some plants that can ward off mosquitoes:
Because the smell of flowers or leaves:
Marigold
Ageratum
Geranium
Juice smeared on the body:
Rosemary
Catnip
Citronella / Oil Citronella
Tansy
Basil.

Differences Mosquitoes and Mosquito Males Females.

To distinguish between male and female mosquitoes mosquitoes, there are several ways that can be done practically. Ways to distinguish the two is as follows:

Body Shape

Mosquito's body is composed of three parts, namely the head, chest, and abdomen. At the head there is a pair of compound eyes and antennae are hairy. Tool female mosquito's mouth-suction-type piercer (piercing-sucking) and including more human like (anthropophagus), while the male mosquito's mouth parts are weaker and is unable to penetrate the human skin, because it pertained to prefer liquid plants (phytophagus). Female mosquitoes have type-Pilose antenna, whereas male mosquitoes plumose type.
Judging from his size, males are generally smaller when compared to the female mosquitoes.

Mosquito sound

The sound of mosquitoes at night, such as helicopters that fly to the ear, is very disturbing. In a study by a team of researchers from Cornell University in New York recording the buzzing of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes produce a buzzing sound by flapping its wings at different speeds per second. Wings of male mosquito sound frequency range of 550-650 Hz, while the female mosquitoes the range of 350-450 Hz (or wings per second).
Mosquitoes usually buzzing in pairs. Nearly 70 pairs of flapping wings with the speed or frequency of the base, so it sounds harmonious and match each other in a certain way. In the mosquito Aedes aegypti, stud change the speed wings 2 times the initial frequency to match harmonization with females. When these mosquitoes mate fit, then it will produce mating duet about 1,200 Hz.
Sound produced by mosquitoes indicates a desire to mate. And a match between the sound frequency of male mosquitoes and female mosquito (around 1,200 Hz), indicating that the mosquitoes were dating / match for mating. If the frequency of the sound does not match, then there will be no marriage. Researchers estimate, the hum of wings is a form of sexual selection were used female mosquitoes to test fitness levels males before mating.

Activity.

Activities males with female mosquitoes are very different. Activity is meant here is the blood sucking activity. Only female mosquitoes who bite humans, whereas male mosquitoes do not. Female mosquitoes bite and suck blood not for food, but only to provide nutrients for her eggs.
