Mosquito
Mosquitoes, the Culicidae, are a Family (biology), family of small Diptera, flies consisting of 3,600 species. The word ''mosquito'' (formed by ''Musca (fly), mosca'' and diminutive ''-ito'') is Spanish and Portuguese for ''little fly''. Mosquitoes have a slender segmented body, one pair of wings, three pairs of long hair-like legs, and specialized, highly elongated, piercing-sucking mouthparts. All mosquitoes drink nectar from flowers; females of some species have in addition adapted to drink blood. The group diversified during the Cretaceous period. Evolutionary biology, Evolutionary biologists view mosquitoes as micropredators, small animals that Parasitism, parasitise larger ones by drinking their blood without immediately killing them. Parasitology, Medical parasitologists view mosquitoes instead as Disease vector, vectors of disease, carrying protozoan parasites or bacterial or virus, viral pathogens from one Host (biology), host to another. The mosquito life cycle cons ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aedes Esoensis
''Aedes'' (also known as the tiger mosquito) is a genus of mosquitoes originally found in tropical and subtropical zones, but now found on all continents except Antarctica. Some species have been spread by human activity: ''Aedes albopictus'', a particularly invasive species, was spread to the Americas, including the United States, in the 1980s, by the used-tire trade. It was first described and named by German entomologist Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1818; the generic name comes from Ancient Greek (), meaning 'unpleasant' or 'odious'. The type species for ''Aedes'' is ''Aedes cinereus''.. Systematics and phylogeny The genus was named by Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1818. The generic name comes from the Ancient Greek , , meaning 'unpleasant' or 'odious'. As historically defined, the genus contains more than 950 species (see the list of ''Aedes'' species). The genus has been divided into several subgenera (''Aedes'', '' Diceromyia'', ''Finlaya'', ''Stegomyia'', etc.), most of w ...

Aedes Alboscutellatus
''Aedes alboscutellatus'' is a species of mosquito belonging to the genus ''Aedes'' and subgenus ''Aedimorphus''. It is part of the '' Aedes niveus'' subgroup and exhibits primarily zoophilic behavior, preferring to feed on animals, though it is also a common indoor human-biting mosquito in its range. Although its role in disease transmission remains poorly understood, it is not currently considered a major vector of human pathogens. Description ''Aedes alboscutellatus'' is a medium-sized mosquito, with adults typically measuring 4–6 mm in length. Its body is predominantly black, adorned with distinctive white scales on the scutum (the dorsal portion of the thorax). The narrow scales on the scutum are dark bronze, creating a striking contrast. A key identifying feature is the sub-apical white band on all femurs (the third leg segment). The proboscis is mottled with light and dark scales, and the wings are covered in dark scales. Adults are commonly found in exposed or partiall ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
