Mosquito By Tom Floore Introduction Mosquitoes are insects belonging to the order Diptera, the True Flies. Like all True Flies, they have two wings, but unlike other flies, their wings have scales and their mouthparts (in female mosquitoes) form a long piercing-sucking proboscis. Males differ from females by having feathery antennae and mouthparts not suitable for piercing skin. Nectar is their principal food source. There are over 2500 different species of mosquitoes throughout th ...

Mosquito head Magnification: X 200 The mosquito's head is mostly eye. The eyes of most insects are compound eyes, made up of many tiny lenses. Each lens sees a slightly different picture, making up a mosaic of the object it is looking at. This type of vision is very efficient at noticing very slight motions such as another insect trying to sneak up on it.
