Mosquitoes

Very few people love mosquitoes. These small insects are found almost everywhere in the world.  Everyone knows how itchy it can be when you get bitten, but only the females suck blood – they need it to lay their eggs. The males drink the nectar from flowers. But even though mosquitoes can be annoying, they are important for nature. They are food for birds, bats and frogs. And mosquito larvae are also important because they help purify water.
