Buzzing, mosquito bites are a headache in the summer.
After reading this article, the next time you slap it, you can understand what type of mosquito the undead in your palm are
Mosquitoes belong to the insect class Dipteroptera mosquitoes, there are about 3000 species worldwide, usually females use blood as food, while males suck the juice of plants, blood-sucking female mosquitoes are dengue fever, malaria, yellow fever, filariasis, Japanese encephalitis and other pathogens of the middle host, to Anopheles, Aedes mosquitoes and Culex are the most famous, let's take a look at the mosquito species picture book.
Anopheles sinensis
Anopheles anopheles china is the earliest and most widely studied mosquito in China, female mosquitoes have white rings in the lower jaw, obvious sub-veined leukoplakia and subterranean leukoplakia on the leading edge of the wing, the base segment can be mixed with a few pale scales, but there are no white spots, most of the diameter veins are black, the transverse veins usually have a few scales, the longitudinal vein 6 has only 2 black spots, the posterior tarsal nodes 1 to 4 have a narrow-ended white ring, the base of the 4 segments of the segments usually has no white rings, there are generally "t" shaped dark spots on the lateral membrane of the abdomen, and there are many pale scales on the back of the basal segments of the male mosquitoes, which are recorded in china except Qinghai and Xinjiang.
Anopheles mosquitoes
Anopheles anopheles is very similar to Anopheles sinensis, and the main difference from Anopheles sinensis is that the basal part of the anterior vein of the wing is usually consistently black, the transverse veins of the arm are scaleless, and the lateral membrane of the abdomen is without t-shaped dark spots. There are no pale scales on the back of the basal segment of the male mosquito, and the larvae of the two are not clearly distinguished, and the eggs are pointed at both ends and the deck is very narrow, accounting for about 1/10 of the width of the eggs. Found only in China, the areas where Anopheles mosquitoes have been found to date include Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan.
Anopheles multi-spotted
Female anopheles multi-spotted mosquitoes have white vertical scales on the top of the head, dark brown vertical scales on the back, developed forehead clusters, tentacles with 3 white rings, consistent dark color of the beak, fine white scales on the dorsal side of the antennae terrier node, a few white and dark scales in the whip section, 1 to 2 pale scales on the dorsal patch of the anterior chest, a bare back slice, dark gray on the middle chest shield, a total of 7 white spots in the anterior veins of the wings, 1 white star spot on each foot, tibia and posterior tarsal segment, and the general morphology of male mosquitoes is similar to that of female mosquitoes.
Anopheles guiyang
An anopheles in the genus Anopheles in the family Anopheles guiyang, the body is larger, the female mosquito tentacles have 4 narrow white rings, there is a small white spot near the brachial vein, there are 3 black spots on the longitudinal vein 6, each foot basal node has obvious white scale clusters, and the male mosquito tail has a few shallow scales on the back of the basal node, distributed in Henan, Anhui, Zhejiang, Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places.
Tiny Anopheles mosquitoes
Micro Anopheles adult mosquitoes are small, the tentacles are dark brown with 3 white rings, the beak is dark brown, the female mosquito shield has no scales or only hairy scales in the middle, the anterior edge of the wing usually has 5 wide white spots, the feet are dark brown, the tarsal nodes or dorsal white spots or very narrow end white rings, each foot node is dark, the abdominal segment dorsal plate is yellowish, light brown or brown, the male mosquitoes are generally similar to female mosquitoes, habitat and bloodlust can vary from region to region, the tiny Anopheles mosquitoes on Hainan Island in China prefer human blood, and the microOperopterus microoptis in mainland China sucks both human and animal blood and prefers animal blood. The larvae breed in streams and ditches with cleaner water quality and slow flow.
Great inferior Anopheles mosquitoes
There are more than 6 black spots in the longitudinal vein of the adult mosquito wing of the great inferior Anopheles mosquitoes, the anterior black spots of the longitudinal vein 1 branch extend to the base no more than the center of the black spots of the leading vein, the white spots of each foot femoral node, the tibia segment and some tarsal nodes have white spots, and there is a significant wide white ring at the posterior tibial node and tarsal joint, the anterior dorsal patch of the abdominal node is normal, not surrounding the back piece, the main breeding is covered by forest clusters, there is no direct sunlight in the mountain stream stone cave, the creek bed water, the seepage water and other environments, the female mosquitoes are partial to sucking human blood, and after invading the indoor blood sucking, they quickly fly away from the wild habitat.
Culex auerepithecus
Culex a blood-sucking mosquito of the family Culex acetoliaceae, is a carrier of some diseases, such as Japanese encephalitis, meningitis, urticaria, etc. It is 3 to 7 mm long, with slender bodies, narrow wings, long legs, and a banded brown and white abdomen with pinnate antennae. Females suck blood, especially human blood, and males suck pollen, nectar, and plant juices.

Causes tiredness of Culex mosquitoes
The middle cover of the head of the tired Culex mosquito is covered with light brown flat scales and vertical scales, the hind head vertical scales are dark brown, the white broad scale area of the cheeks extends behind the eyes to form a narrow edge, the beak color is dark, the ventral surface base is semi-even, the lip flap is light, the tentacles are black, there are several scales on the front of the chest and the back plate, the mid-chest shield is light brown, the thorax side plate is light brown, the mid-chest ventral side plate has two groups of light scales located on the upper and lower posterior margins, the posterior side of the middle chest has a group of light scales and the upper scales on the ventral side plate of the middle chest and several scales in the upper hair plexus, and the lower posterior side of the middle chest has 1 mane, and the wing scales are dark and dense.
Triscarpus-beaked Culex mosquitoes
Culex triscarpus beaked Culex is a kind of Culex mosquito, both cannibal and animal blood, pigs, cattle are its main blood-sucking objects, after investigation of pig sheds three-banded Culex beaked 94%, often about 2 hours after dusk and before dawn time in the outdoor attack, sucking human blood, for the main vector in encephalitis endemic areas. Culex triscarpus is a small tan mosquito species with a broad white ring in the middle of the beak, a white tip of the tentacles, a thin white ring at the base of each tarsal segment, and a basal pale band on the back of the 2nd to 7th abdominal segment.
Culex pale
Pale Culex body shape is medium, light brown, dark brown beak and foot, no white ring, no white stripe on the mid-thorax dorsal plate, gray transverse bands at the base of each section of the abdomen, the posterior edge of the belt is straight, mainly breeding in moderately polluted water near human settlements, sewage ponds, stinky ditches, septic tanks, rainwater wells, sewer water, fertilizer tanks for watering flowers, and potholes at construction sites are important breeding sites for this mosquito.
Aedes aegypti mosquito

Culex piriformis
Culex Culex has a special ring-tarsal type, but its taxonomic status has not been determined for a long time, the larvae breed in sewage pits, swamps and other stagnant water, adults suck human blood and cattle blood, inhabit grass and woods and other places, can spread Spotted filariasis. Spotted filariasis is a chronic parasitic disease caused by the adult parasitism of the zebra filaria parasitism of the human lymphatic system, mainly lymphangitis and lymphadenitis in the early stage, and lymphatic vessel obstruction and its series of symptoms in the late stage.
Dongxiang Aedes mosquito
Dongxiang Aedes mosquito body tan or dark brown, beak dark brown, tentacle ends have white scales, mid-breast shield has a pale yellow longitudinal strip, posterior tarsal section 1 to 5 base and 1 to 4 end have white rings, larvae mostly breed in coastal caves, stone caves and containers, cabins and other water, can tolerate high salt concentrations, but also grow in fresh water, female mosquitoes suck the blood of cattle, horses, birds, etc., but also invade the indoor thorn sucking human blood, distributed in China from Liaoning to Guangdong coastal areas and some islands are distributed.
Stinging Aedes mosquitoes
The aedes are brown, brown or pale brown, the female mosquitoes have white scales at the ends of the tentacles, there are clusters of scales in the posterior and sub-valve areas of the female mosquitoes, the wings are brown, the brown scales in front of the forefoot and midfoot femoral nodes are hybridized with pale scales, the tarsal nodes have a basal white ring, the dorsal plate of the abdomen 2nd to 7th has a basal white belt, and the larvae are widely bred in pits, shallow pools, ponds, depressions, and in paddy fields and swamps. Female mosquitoes mainly sting cattle, horses and other domestic animals, but also suck human blood, in a large number of places of harassment of people and animals.
