  Mosquitos are most common in tropical areas because they thrive in warm climates. Temperature plays a vital role throughout the mosquito’s life cycle. A mosquito can take up to 40 days to develop from egg to an adult, which, depending on the temperature, lives up to two weeks. It’s known that mosquitos feed on their host’s blood, but it’s only the females that feed on blood. Male mosquitos usually feed on nectar and other sources of sugar. Mosquitoes are considered as a vector for disease because they transfer diseases, like malaria and dengue fever, from one host to another.

• Fly
  

  Flies are very widespread around the world, because they can easily adapt to their surroundings. The average house fly, from maggot to adult stage, lives up to 2 – 4 weeks, and can lay about 500 eggs in a lifetime. They lay their eggs in batches of 100’s on decaying matter like rotting food. Flies feed on liquid substances beside solid substances that have been softened by other liquids like saliva, and take in large amounts of food.
