The list of 'horror' mosquitoes does not bother to suck human blood
As soon as a mosquito is seen, most people's reaction is to quickly "beat" it to give it away so as not to suck blood or "revenge" for being sucked in blood. But few people know that it is possible that you have committed a "massacre" mistake.
In fact, only female mosquitoes like to suck blood, not all mosquitoes have this "hobby". There are other species of mosquitoes such as snow mosquitoes, water mosquitoes, mottled mosquitoes Midge . do not suck human blood but are often unjustly killed by humans.
Here are some mosquitoes that do not like to suck blood.
1. Snow mosquito
This is a weak insect, they hardly eat anything or sometimes eat only the larvae of other mosquitoes, they maintain life by drinking water in the ice. Of course, this "vegetarian" mosquito does not like to suck human blood.
Snow mosquitoes grow and mate to maintain the race and die quietly.
This insect has an average body size in the range of 2 - 60mm, but there are also individuals with snow mosquitoes found to have a stride of up to 10cm. That's why we mistake them for a giant mosquito.
The characteristic to identify snow mosquitoes is that they have smooth wings, no wings edge, when the body shape is always straight, not kink like a normal mosquito.
2. Mosquitoes Midge
Under our normal eyes, Midge mosquitoes look very similar to the mosquitoes that bite us everyday. But the fact that Midge mosquitoes do not like to burn people and do not transmit disease, they are completely harmless to humans.
Midge Midge often lives in herds and is attracted to light, especially the light of insect trap lights. There is a fact that most of the mosquitoes in the lamp catch mosquitoes are mosquitoes Midge, not "hateful" mosquitoes still burn us.
The identity of this midget species is quite short, does not cover the body, does not have an outer edge and is still. They do not have a hose - an alibi for stings and when rested, their bodies will lie straight, the chest touches the flat surface it is lying on rather than forming a kinked corner like a mosquito bites a human.
3. Water mosquitoes
As a larvae, this water mosquito has a scientific name, Pontomyia. They live hidden in stagnant saltwater areas and this is the only insect on the planet that can live in saltwater.
When mature, male water mosquitoes surf on the water by standing upright on the hind legs and using 2 front legs as 2 paddles. Female mosquitoes do not have both legs and wings, they only float on the water and wait for male mosquitoes to carry them to carry out the noble task of maintaining the race.
4. Mosquito Culiseta
Due to "love" the cold environment, mosquitoes only appear at times of low temperatures during the year. They are present all over the world but cannot withstand the temperature and environment of South America.
Mosquitoes Culiseta males do not suck blood but only absorb pistils like other mosquitoes. Female mosquitoes do not "suck blood" and are interested in parasites on birds and reptiles.
After the "cup" is full, female mosquitoes will find a suitable place to lay eggs. Culiseta female mosquitoes can lay a maximum of 300 eggs in one reproduction.
