There are over three thousand different kinds of mosquitoes in the world. Most live in the tropics, but some even live in the Arctic.
A mosquito wing beats from 300-600 times per second.
A male mosquito can find females by listening to the sound of their wings beating. They identify the correct species by the pitch of the female's wings.
Not all mosquitoes transmit diseases.
Male mosquitoes do not bite.
Mosquitoes do not transmit HIV/Aids.
Mosquitoes are arthropods, so are lobsters, spiders, bees, fleas, and barnacles.
