Insect#2

The mosquito is a common flying insect that is found around the world. There are about 2,700 species of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can fly about 1 to 1.5 miles per hour. Females drink blood and the nectar of plants. The males only sip plant nectar. When a female bites, she also injects an anticoagulant Chemical into the prey to keep the victim's blood flowing. She finds her victims by sight and smell, and also by detecting their warmth. Not all mosquito species bite humans.
