The Mosquito, a deadly insect. 1  The Mosquito is a member of the insect family Culicidae.The mosquito has scaled wings, a pair of what are called halteres, and a thin body and very long legs.The female of the species sucks the blood of other animals for her food.
After puncturing the skin with their mouthparts and feeding on blood, mosquitoes leave hard, itchy bumps. In the blood-feeding process, mosquitoes inject saliva into their host which creates the reactions that cause bite symptoms. Most mosquito bites are harmless and the symptoms subside in a few days. Some discomforting symptoms include swelling of the bite site, soreness, and bleeding. While mosquitoes are an itchy, uncomfortable nuisance, the important problem arising from mosquito bites is transmission of viral or parasitic diseases.
