Interesting fact:

There are more than 3500 species of mosquitoes yet only female mosquitoes bite. The word ‘mosquito means ‘little fly’ in Spanish. Mosquitoes spend their first ten days in water. Eggs can hatch in as little as an inch of standing water. Mosquitoes are cold blooded and when it is cold, they hibernate. The average mosquito lifespan is less than two months. Males have shorter lives of usually ten days or less.
