Mosquitos are pretty amazing hunters. They smell chemicals given off by humans to find their next host. They can also detect carbon dioxide given off by our breath and sweat that lets them know there’s a meal (yes, that’s you) nearby.

Mosquitos can drink you under the table:
Yes, even at your peak as “Beer-Pong Champion” at your college fraternity, these little gals can drink you under the table. Female mosquitos are able to drink 3 to 4 times their own weight in blood. That’s a lot of keg stands…

This is a surprising fact to most people but it’s true; only the females bite. Females bite you because your blood is a nice, tasty treat to them! The protein and other compounds provide female mosquitoes with a feast that is essential in producing and developing their eggs.
Mosquitos aren’t going to win the Olympics:
Compared to other insects, like wasps or flies, mosquitos aren’t that strong of fliers and are rather slow. They only fly at speeds between 1 and 1.5 mph.
Mosquitos are like really, really old:
In the movie series, “Jurassic Park” scientists were able to extract DNA from blood in a mosquito that was trapped in amber for millions of years to recreate dinosaurs. Although we don’t have an island full of dinosaurs (because that would be terrifying) lying around in real life from such a discovery, mosquitos do date back to the Triassic Period which was 250 million years ago! That’s like, a really, really long time ago!

Sharks, Lions, or Crocs have nothing on these little bloodsuckers when it comes to killing humans. Mosquitos are responsible for 2 to 3 million deaths and infect nearly 200 million people per year!
Although mosquitos can’t tear you limb from limb (at least we have that going for us), they are responsible for transmitting deadly diseases like malaria, dengue, and other arboviruses.
