5 Interesting Facts About Mosquitoes!

Mosquitoes are the deadliest animals on Earth - they kill more humans per year than any other creature, roughly 700,000 people annually, primarily through the transmission of malaria, dengue fever and other diseases.
Only female mosquitoes bite - they need the protein in blood to develop their eggs. Male mosquitoes feed entirely on nectar and plant juices.
Mosquitoes have been on Earth for over 100 million years - they were around when dinosaurs roamed the planet, which is partly why researchers looked to amber-preserved mosquitoes in the Jurassic Park story.
A mosquito can detect carbon dioxide (the gas we breathe out) from up to 50 metres away - they locate hosts primarily by following the trail of exhaled breath.
Some mosquito species are important pollinators - the males in particular visit flowers for nectar and transfer pollen in the process, playing a role in certain ecosystems that is only now being fully appreciated.
