Mosquito Facts
- Most mosquitoes live in tropical and sub-tropical climates, but there are mosquitoes in arctic and desert regions as well.
- Mosquitoes will develop from egg to adult in as little as 4-7 days, depending on temperature.
- When a mosquito bites, she injects a bit of saliva that slows coagulation so blood flows freely. It's your body's allergic reaction to the saliva that causes the welt and itching sensation.
- The mosquito's visual picture is actually an infrared view produced by its prey's body temperature.
