Preferred term

mosquitoes  

Definition

  • Two thousand five hundred species and 1,000 subspecies of mosquitoes thrive across diverse ecological niches from the arid desert to the subarctic tundra. The life cycle, habitat preference, and temporal behavior of mosquitoes is therefore highly variable and species dependent. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environment and Society; Mosquitoes]
