A mosquito is a small insect. It is found mainly in hot and moist parts of the world. Mosquitoes
disturb our sleep at night. Mosquitoes like to live in dark, damp and dirty
places. Mosquitoes are a great nuisance to us. Female mosquitoes breed in dirty
drains, stagnant water, dark and
damp bushes.
We are always afraid of mosquito bites. Their buzzing sound
is quite disturbing to the ears and their bites are painful to the skin. Only
female mosquitoes can suck blood by entering their sharp stings into the skin
of their prey. The male mosquitoes
cannot do so as they have blunt
stings.
Mosquitoes are very harmful to men. They spread different
diseases like malaria and yellow fever. Very recently, they have been reported
to spread dangerous diseases called encephalitis and dengue. To get rid of
mosquitoes and their painful bites, we should sleep under mosquito nets and
clear dirty drains and ponds in and around our localities. Mosquito repellant too can be used for this
purpose.
