    In the article, "When Mosquitoes Were Killers In America" written by Lauren Tarshis, the author states that mosquitoes are far worse than being a nuisance. There are many places in the article that back this statement. For example, the author writes something about how mosquitoes can easily spread a deadly disease called malaria. "In this way, bite by itchy bite, 212 million people are infected with malaria each year. Many live in crowded areas where mosquitoes easily spread the disease from person to person"(Tarshis 13). This is saying that in a small area, mosquitoes can easily infect people with a deadly disease. This is important because it shows an example of a piece of evidence to back up Lauren's statement.

    They can suck blood from a lot of creatures but they choose mainly humans, herbivorous mammals, and birds. Only the female mosquito sucks blood because it needs the protein and iron in our blood to develop its eggs. Both females and males use plant nectar, fruit juices, and liquids that ooze from plants as another food source. A mosquito has a long, slim body with 6 legs, a mouthpiece called a proboscis designed to suck in food, and two antennae. Mosquitoes are nocturnal but they do rest in dense vegetation, caves, tree holes, chicken coops, stables, and basements during daytime. When a male mosquito wants to find a mate it will listen to the sound of the female’s wings as they reach a higher frequency than the male can get to. Even as they are mating, they will change the beat of the wings to different frequencies and create a…

    Mosquitos are the largest human killers in the world. They are not only efficient, blood sucking organisms, but also the most efficient disease carrying organism. The Pacific vampire mosquito is indigenous to several islands in the Pacific Ocean. They are most known for their presence on the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the large tourist presence on the islands, and the increasing pressure of unhappy tourists these pests are literally being poised to extinction. They are known to carry Malaria, and yellow fever and infect thousands of tourists yearly. Should these creatures be spared? After all their endangerment is a direct cause of human involvement. Although I believe that extinction is not necessarily the answer, continued involvement is needed. We as humans are a…

    Throughout my trip camping in Algonquin I learned that I do not like mosquitos. The trip was damp, which brought the mosquitos out in droves. The sound of their whining filled the air morning, noon, and night. Even the beach was filled with them, but the worst part was trying to fall asleep hearing, and knowing you weren’t the only one in the tent. I had to learn this the worst way. I got home after a trip spent itching my skin day after day. I got home and my whole body was covered in bug bites. That’s when I decided I am never ever going camping again.…
