If you are a student looking to do research on mosquitoes for a book report or paper, you may want to take a look at a mosquito picture.  You can use a mosquito picture or drawing to include as a resource along with your paper to show the anatomy of the mosquito.  The mosquito goes through four stages of development, from the egg raft to the larva to the pupa to the adult.

When doing research on mosquitoes, you might want to include a mosquito picture that shows the various stages of development, as well as the body structure of the adult mosquito.  You can also find many photos of mosquitoes on skin, and photos that show the process of how a mosquito bites.  The female is the only one that actually bites, and the itchy redness that accompanies a bite is an allergic reaction that the female has injected into your skin to avoid blood coagulation.  If your blood were to coagulate around the proboscis while the female is sucking blood, the proboscis could get stuck in your skin, killing the mosquito.

If you can�t find a mosquito picture online, you might want to visit a local library and make copies from biology books or books about insects.  If you are unsure how to tell the difference between a fly and a mosquito, you will notice on closer inspection that a mosquito has scales on its wings.
