Mosquito Biology: 100 What is the first stage of a mosquito’s lifecycle? A: Egg Mosquito Biology: 200 True or False: Only female mosquitoes feed on blood? A: True Only female mosquitoes have a proboscis ( a long, jagged mouth part on the mosquito’s head) that is adapted for piercing skin, and only the females feed on blood. Male mosquitoes typically feed on plant nectar. Mosquito Biology: 300 What is the long, feathery on the mosquito’s head used to hear and smell? A: Antenna Mosquito Habitats: 100 True or false: All mosquitoes require water for their larvae to develop? A: True; Larvae (larva) (also called wigglers or wrigglers) is the part of the mosquito lifecycle that comes after the eggs hatch. The larvae hang from the surface of water and breathe through tubes. The larval stage lasts for about 1 week. Mosquito Habitats: 200 What man-made containers can mosquitoes use as larval habitats? A: Buckets, cans, flower pots, or old tires (among other things)
