The Mosquito
Mosquitoes are small, winged insects known for their irritating bites and distinctive high-pitched buzz. They have a slender body with 6 long, spindly legs and a proboscis - a special snout used for sucking blood or nectar. These pesky pests can be found worldwide, but they especially love humid environments. Mosquitoes have a unique lifecycle starting from eggs, developing into larvae and pupae, and then growing into adults.
