• Mosquitoes have been in existence since the
  dinosaur era which is 400 million years ago.
• They are found close to still water, where their
  larvae feed and develop.
• They seem to be attracted to dark colours.
• Mosquitoes will normally bite you at dawn or dusk
  - mostly nocturnal. That's when their internal
  clocks tell them it is feeding time.

• Mosquitoes are attracted to heat and they find
  lactic acid alluring thus would tend to bite
  people who had just exercised.
• Bigger people tend to attract more mosquitoes
  because they produce higher Carbon Dioxide and
  lactic acid.

  Chikungunya and Dengue. Their development from
  egg to mosquito is quite rapid (6-8 days).
• The bites from an Aedes mosquito peak at the
  change of light intensity (after sunrise and
  before sunset).
• Adult has black and white markings.
• Larval rest 45 degree from the surface of the
  water.
• Egg is black in colour and shape like a rugby
  ball.

Culex Mosquito Culex mosquitoes are transmitters
of Japanese B Encephalitis, a very dangerous type
of brain fever. They bite at night and rest
before and after blood meals. Culex breeds in
polluted stagnant water, and is a major pest
problem in urban areas and metropolises of India,
where it breeds in drains. Adult - thorax, legs
and veins on the wings are always covered with
brown scales. Dull in colour. The tip of the
abdomen is always blunt. Larval rest 45 degree
from the surface of the water. Egg is brown, long
and cylindrical, vertical on water surface,
cemented in a raft of 300 eggs. Raft usually 3 -
4mm long and 2 - 3mm wide.
