Mosquitos.
Mosquito and mosquita (from the Spanish meaning little fly) is a common insect in the family Culicidae (from the Latin culex meaning midge or gnat). Mosquitoes resemble crane flies (family Tipulidae) and chironomid flies (family Chironomidae), with which they are sometimes confused by the casual observer.

Appearance
Mosquitoes go through four stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, adult or imago. Adult females can live up to a month, but in nature most probably do not live longer than 1-2 weeks.
Habitat
Most mosquito species are crepuscular (dawn or dusk) feeders. Most mosquitoes rest in a cool place during the day as they wait for the evening, but they may still bite if disturbed. Adult females lay their eggs in a body of water, which can be a salt marsh, lake, puddle, natural reservoir on a plant, or an artificial water container such as a plastic bucket. The adult mosquito emerges from the pupa as it floats at the water surface.
