Mosquitoes -
Mosquitoes are flying insects. They have two sets of wings and are quite small, generally between 4 and 10 millimetres in length. They have a specially developed proboscis (a feeding mouth part) that they use to bite through skin to suck blood. Mosquitoes feed on a range of birds and mammals including man. They are known as "vectors" because they can carry certain communicable diseases.
