We know mosquitoes(蚊子)very well. We can find them worldwide and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes mosquitoes. But the mosquito, she might like you. She? Yes, she. It's true that male mosquitoes don't bite(咬)and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for animals to bite.
If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn't like your blood, she will go to someone letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything. After she bites, you can feel an itch(痒)on your body because she puts something in your blood when she feeds.


And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay hundreds of eggs.
