Mosquitoes are a family of small flies - in fact their name was taken from Spanish or Portuguese which means "little fly". There are over 3500 species of mosquitoes and not all of them are the type that buzz around your head, especially your ears, as your are trying to get to sleep at night. (There is nothing worse when trying to get to sleep and you can hear that low buzz of a mosquito flying around, only to hear it suddenly stop. Then you know it has landed and is ready to suck your blood!)
Mosquitoes are known to spread diseases among humans, such as the very deadly malaria, and other species spread diseases among animals too. It is these species of mosquitoes that I am referring to here. No mosquitoes wanted in my house!
