Habitat
Only females require a blood meal to produce eggs. Mosquitoes typically feed during the daylight hours when they are most active. The males do not bite and primarily feed on plant nectar.
Mosquitos can overwinter in temperate climates. The females lay their eggs inside items that can hold stagnant water such as tires, flowerpots, birdbaths and clogged drains.
Threats
The bite from a female mosquito can leave an itchy, red bump on the skin. But, the real threat posed by this pest is its ability to transmit numerous diseases including West Nile Virus, Dengue Fever, and Zika Virus.
