Mosquito Mosquitoes are members of a family of nematocerid flies: the Culicidae (from the Latin culex, genitive culicis, meaning midge or gnat). Superficially, mosquitoes resemble crane flies (family Tipulidae) and chironomid flies (family Chironomidae).uch more serious though, are the roles of many species of mosquitoes as vectors of diseases. In passing from host to host, some transmit extremely harmful infections such as malaria, yellow fever, west Nile virus, dengue fever, filariasis, and other arboviruses, rendering it the deadliest animal family in the world.

A raft of eggs looks like a speck of soot floating on the water and is about 1/4 inch long and 1/8 inch wide.iny mosquito larvae (1st instar) emerge from the eggs within 24 - 48 hours almost in unison. Mosquito larvae, commonly called wigglers, live in water from 4 to 14 days depending on water temperature.
