Culex mosquito - a regular customer at home

Its characteristics are that its wings are large, its body color is mostly light brown, its beak and feet are dark brown, and there are no white rings or spots. When it is still on the human skin, the body is parallel to the resting surface.

This type of mosquitoes like to suck blood at night. The larvae generally live in various water bodies or containers of water. The sewage pools and stinky ditches in the city are important breeding places for this kind of mosquitoes. Adult mosquitoes often hide in warm, dark and humid places indoors for winter.
Culis mosquitoes is widely distributed around the world, with nearly 800 known species and subspecies. Culex mosquito is a genus in the Culex mosquito subfamily. Common Culex mosquito species include Culex mosquito acne, Culex mosquito acne mosquito, Culex mosquito acne mosquito, Culex mosquito acne mosquito acne mosquito, Culex mosquito acne mosquito acne mosquito, Culex mosquito acne mosquito acne mosquito acne mosquito, etc.
Culex mosquito bites can transmit diseases such as filariasis and epidemic type B encephalitis, but they are relatively "toxic". Although the degree of itching is not high, it is really annoying because of its frequent occurrence. Therefore, the hateful index: , three stars, .
2 Aedes mosquito - a ferocious predator
Aedes mosquito , is an insect of the Aedes mosquito subfamily of the Celestialidae family. It is distributed in the world and is the largest genus of the Mosquito family. It has nearly 1,000 species and more than 100 species in China. The most common ones are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Their common feature is that they have white markings on their bodies, so they are commonly known as "flower mosquito".

Aedes aegypti mosquito is a small and medium-sized black mosquito species with white marks on the body, white rings at the base of the 1 to 4 sections of the hind foot, completely white at the end of the part, and white spots on the back of the abdomen.
We can easily recognize Aedes aegypti mosquito through the white marking on the legs and chest sections. This kind of mosquitoes often stumble when they are outdoors, often appearing during the day and the afternoon is the peak period of occurrence. They are also the main biological vectors for spreading "dengue fever". In March 2016, a yellow fever outbreak broke out in Angola, which was transmitted through the bites of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
Aedes albopictus丨Source: Wikipedia
Aedes albopicta , also known as Aedes albopicta and Asian tiger mosquito. Aedes albopictus is native to Southeast Asia and has now traveled across more than 70 countries around the world. They can be found in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions, and are distributed on other continents except Antarctica.
The habits and characteristics of Aedes albopictus are similar to those of Aedes aegypti, but the biting frequency and competitive advantages of Aedes albopictus have stronger interspecies, which means that they have a stronger ability to carry pathogens and transmit diseases, such as dengue fever, Ross River virus, West Nile virus and Zika virus.
Aedes mosquitoes fly fast and bite hard, and even perform difficult movements such as rolling, diving, and sharp turns. Although the probability of meeting is lower than that of Culex mosquitoes, given its dangerousness, the hateful index: , four stars, .
3 Anopheles - talk about mosquitoes and is afraid of
Anopheles mosquito , also known as malaria mosquito, as the name implies, will spread malaria to humans. The four common malaria vectors in China are Anophelesum, Aphthalesum, Aphelesum and Anophelesum. The common feature of this type of mosquito is that its wings are large and spotted, and when it stops moving, the abdomen will be raised and maintained at a certain angle to the resting surface. Among the species of malaria mosquitoes, Gambia Malta mosquito is the most famous because it is the host of the most dangerous malaria parasite - Plasmodium falciparum.They invaded Brazil in the 1830s and led to a massive outbreak of malaria.
The early symptoms of malaria are similar to those of colds. Typical symptoms will appear after more than ten days, such as fever, chills, vomiting and headaches, and may become coma and death in severe cases.

Thanks to the huge progress in medical and disease control work in my country, our generation may not have truly felt the horror of malaria. According to the World Health Organization estimates that in 2017, about 435,000 people died of malaria in the world, of which 93% were involved. Therefore, due to the high risk of malaria mosquitoes, its hateful index is , five stars, .
4 What mosquito is biting you?
learned about three kinds of mosquitoes that bite us. How can we quickly "solve the case" and find the culprit who bites us?
Mosquito bag!
Hemispherical small bumps - Aedes mosquito

This kind of package is very hard to touch. Although it is itchy, it fades faster. The "killer" is usually Aedes , which is the "flower mosquito" we mentioned above!
Package with irregular shape - Culex

This package has no obvious edges, is not very regular in shape, and is soft to the touch. In addition to itching, it also has a tingling feeling, but the itchy feeling will disappear faster. If such a bag is bitten out of the body, the initiator is usually Culex .
obvious geometric package - Momosquito

This package is generally long, with obvious bulges, large area, clear edges, easy to scratch, and most importantly, it is really itchy and not easy to fade. This powerful "killer" is called 后, also known as the mosquito. Although it is not actually a mosquito, it belongs to the 后后 , it still does not hinder human hatred of it.
Of course, the above judgment is not suitable for everyone. After all, after being bitten by a mosquito, the degree of itch and the size of the bag are different because everyone's immunity is different. However, if the symptoms continue to recuperate after being bitten by a mosquito, remember to go to the hospital in time for treatment with !
