The sell of mosquito net, repellent, coil and incense stick were on rise these days. Everybody wants to stay safe from mosquitos. Thanks to rainy weather these day, we are actually facing mosquito menace. Having home close to jungle, and farming fields around, there were many mosquitos at home Every evening we made use of either coil or incense sticks to get rid of them. Also we sleep inside the mosquito net to get a better sleep. Due to the repellent effect, these mosquitos fell everywhere and yesterday, I get hold of one of them.
Have you ever wondered, therr are more mosquitos during rainy days than.any other time of the year?. The answer is pretry simple
Mosquitoes are moisture-loving insects that are more active during wet weather, especially rainy seasons.
Rain creates stagnant water, such as puddles and potholes, which are ideal breeding sites for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in still water and can go from egg to biting adult in as little as five days.
These mosquitos bites, does not let you to sleep at night and sometimes make you hear lullaby with their flipping sound. I think everyone experinced it. Female mosquitoes bite people and animals to get a blood meal, which they need to develop eggs and reproduce. As they feed, they inject saliva into the skin, which triggers an immune system reaction that causes itching and bumps.
But we do not need to worry about them. Most mosquito bites go away in a few days, but you can try these remedies to relieve swelling and itching. Avoid scratching the bite area, Apply something cold to the bite, Use lotions or creams, and Take an over the-counter antihistamine. At the same time we also Beed to wary about the Dengue, or Malaria as these mosquitos does help them to spread from.one body to another. But you cannot judge them with their look.
Finding one in my grasp. I quickly turned on my "macro" camera mode and clicked few snaps. I must confess I am regretting of not owning a lenses to take a sharp shot of these small fliers.
Some mosquitoes are vectors, meaning they can spread germs to people or animals that can make them sick. However, nuisance mosquitoes bite but do not spread germs.
***Mosquitoes have scaled wings, long antennae, and female mosquitoes have a long, piercing-sucking proboscis for their mouthparts. ***
It is alwsys advised to keep ourself safe from mosquitos. Mosquitoes are attracted to smells, including sweat, floral scents, and exhaled carbon dioxide. Some people may be more attractive to mosquitoes than others because of their body odor, which can include lactic acid, carboxylic acids, and other chemicals. Other factors that may attract mosquitoes include: Blood type, Body heat, Skin bacteria, Pregnancy, Alcohol, Diet, and Clothing color.
Be wary of them and be safe. This did not kill this one, but was intoxicated due to the the repellent effect and got me a subject for photography.
Peace!!
Namaste @steemflow

I hate these little fucks so much it's unreal. The worst part of summer by far.
I contracted dangue fever once a couple of years ago, thanks to the aedes mosquitoes. I don't like mosquitoes, as it brought unpleasant itch and can be very annoying to my ears at night. Anyway, I don't think they're evil though, it's just the way of life. We won't know if they have soul, because I can't even answer how can we identify a human soul, can we? If language is being introduced, I think we human are the ones who doesn't have mosquito soul 😂 whatever cruel things and animal do to human, we can see that's the mandate to survive. However, human can do cruel things to animal, just for the sake of having fun. No pun intended. Just so happened dropped by for a quick read and reply, my friend. Nice photograph!
Most of them do not cause any disorder, the dangerous thing as you say is when they carry diseases and in areas with little clean pastures and stagnant water... for example Argentina has a big problem of dengue... quite serious. It is necessary to be careful

I admit, I hate them sometiems, too. However, to be fair, they only do what is necessary for them to survive, and they are actually very successful in doing that. :)
