A bloodsucking mosquito is being found on a mosquito net in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on March 17, 2024. Mosquitoes, belonging to the Culicidae family, are small flies with around 3,600 species. The term 'mosquito' comes from Spanish and Portuguese, meaning 'little fly.' These insects have slender, segmented bodies, one pair of wings, three pairs of long, hair-like legs, and specialized, highly elongated, piercing-sucking mouthparts.
