We have seen the mosquito are in small size, however they have been around for more than 30 million years. Mosquitoes are insects in the family Culicidae. They have a pair of scaled wings, a pair of halteres, a slender body, and long legs. The females of most mosquito species suck blood (hematophagy) from other animals, which has made them the most deadly disease vector known, killing millions of people over thousands of years and continuing to kill millions per year by the spread of diseases.
The mosquito use chemical, visual and heat sensors to locate their prey. There are approximately 2,700 species of mosquitoes with the majority belonging to 3 major genera: aedes (eggs are laid in floodwater areas), anopheles (eggs are laid in permanent fresh water) and culex (eggs are laid in quiet, standing water). Most male mosquitoes died after mating whereas female mosquitoes will continue to live for a few weeks.

Based on the results i search on the internet, mosquito bites can be treated by washing them with soap and water. Use anti-itch medicines, such as Calamine lotion, to avoid from scratching the bite area. To repel mosquitoes, wear clothing that covers most of your body, use a mosquito repellant that contains NN-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) and eliminate sources of standing water in your area to prevent mosquitoes from breeding
