No-Squito!TM Mosquito Bioinsecticide Mosquito Facts & West Nile Virus Update Mosquito Facts Mosquito, the name is Spanish for little fly. There are 3000 different kinds of mosquitoes and a worldwide population of 100 trillion!! Most are in tropical climates, but there are mosquitoes in arctic and desert regions. They can fly up to 10 mph, dart between raindrops and even fly backwards. Most live and die close to where they hatch, but some are strong flyers that travel many miles in search of a victim. Only female
mosquitoes bite. They require a blood meal in order
to develop eggs to make more mosquitoes. Most female
mosquitoes lay their eggs on standing water.
Stagnant ponds, ditches and fresh or salt water wetlands are
favorites, but even a few tablespoons of water in a flower pot
or old auto tire will do. The eggs hatch, become swimming
larvae, then pupae and finally flying adults. Mosquito
larvae are an important source of food for certain fish, birds,
bats and other animals.
