There are over 2,500 species of mosquitoes found throughout the world.

Both male and female mosquitoes are nectar feeders, but the females of 
many species are also capable of drinking blood from many mammals.

Females do not require blood for their own survival, but they do need 
supplemental substances such as proteins and iron to develop eggs.

Adult females lay their eggs in standing water, which can be a 
salt-marsh, a lake, a puddle, a natural reservoir on a plant, or an 
artificial water container such as a plastic bucket.

The first three stages are aquatic and last 514 days. Depending on the 
species and the ambient temperature, eggs hatch to become larvae, then 
pupae.

During the heat of the day most mosquitoes rest in a cool place and wait 
for the evenings, although they may still bite if disturbed.

Some species, like the Asian tiger mosquito, are known to fly and feed 
during daytime.

Mosquitoes are adept at infiltration and have been known to find their 
way into residences via deactivated air conditioning units

Only female mosquitoes bite animals and drink blood. Male mosquitoes do 
not bite, but feed on the nectar of flowers.

*Aedes mosquitoes* are painful and persistent biters, attacking during 
daylight hours (not at night). They do not enter dwellings, and they 
prefer to bite mammals like humans.

Aedes mosquitoes are strong fliers and are known to fly many miles from 
their breeding sources.

*Culex mosquitoes* are painful and persistent biters also, but prefer to 
attack at dusk and after dark, and readily enter dwellings for blood meals.

Domestic and wild birds are preferred over man, cows, and horses. Culex 
tarsalis is known to transmit encephalitis (sleeping sickness) to man 
and horses.

Culex are generally weak fliers and do not move far from home, although 
they have been known to fly up to two miles.

Culex usually live only a few weeks during the warm summer months.

  Those females which emerge in late summer search for sheltered areas 
where they "hibernate" until spring. Warm weather brings her out in 
search of water on which to lay her eggs.

*Culiseta mosquitoes* are moderately aggressive biters, attacking in the 
evening hours or in shade during the day.
