Mosquito Bites:
 why they itch?
  By: Kassidy Waszak
Evolution of
         Mosquitoes
egg;larva;pupae;adult

must have water to
complete cycle

life span- 4days-1month

females tend to live
longer- only ones that
bite

3,500 species of
mosquitoes
The Mosquito
        slender bodies
3 sections- head, thorax, and
             abdomen
            antennae
               wing
           proboscis
Malaria
 ~if mosquito has the malaria
            parasite
     ~transmitted by blood
~multiplication of the malaria
 parasites within red blood
            cells
Why do they
     itch?
When the blood vessels expand,
nerves in the area become irritated
by the swelling.-this causes itching
