Welcome to SkeeterBite.info

The mosquito, also known as "skeeter" in most of North America and "mozzies" or "mossies" elsewhere, is a member of the family Culicidae; these insects have a pair of scaled wings, a pair of halteres, a slender body, and long legs.

The females of most mosquito species suck blood from other animals, including humans.


Mosquito bites often swell up hours after happening, causing a red ringed white bump about a centimeter in diameter. This bump can itch for days and over-scratching the bite can cause it to bleed. Continued over-scratching can cause scars.
