MOSQUITOES THE TRUTH ABOUT

A mosquito weighs grams On average they are 16mm long

Mosquitoes use sensors around their mouthparts to detect the warmth of your body and the blood inside it…

…they then land on you and locate the best capillaries to ‘tap’ into!

A mosquito takes 5-millionths of a litre of blood when it bites

It would take 1.2 million bites to drain your body dry of blood

Mosquito saliva contains some of the same ingredients as rat poison

A mosquito’s flaps it’s wings up to 600 times a second

Male mosquitoes locate females by the sound of their wings

Only the female mosquito sucks blood. It’s not for food. It’s to reproduce.

After you’ve been bitten it can take up to 10 minutes before an itchy lump appears!

If disturbed while feeding a mosquito will return several times until she is full of blood

Mosquitoes generally fly below 25 feet. However, they have been found 8,000 feet up in the Himalayas.

Mosquitoes kill a child every 30 seconds…

…so in the time it takes you to read this slide-show mosquitoes will have killed 6 more children!

…they killed 3,000 people yesterday, 3,000 people today and they’ll kill 3,000 people tomorrow…

…all in all mosquitoes will kill 1 million people this year…

…that’s the population of San Jose, California

…it’s widely accepted that mosquitoes have killed more people than all the wars that have ever been fought…

…more controversially some people believe that 50% of all the people that have ever lived have been killed by mosquitoes!

Mosquitoes don’t just kill humans, almost nothing is safe! They’ve even killed two Killer Whales in captivity!...

…and six penguins At London Zoo

Mosquitoes kill dogs and cats by giving them heart worm…

…and kill horses by giving them EEE (Eastern equine encephalitis virus)

Alexander the Great is believed to have died of malaria in 323 B.C.

There have been other famous people who have contracted malaria including American presidents Theodore Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy…
