MOSQUITOS
Mosquitoes in Australia are ubiquitous in urban
and rural environments, with around 300 known
species found across the continent. These small,
flying insects are not only a nuisance to humans
due to their itchy bites but also act as vectors
for transmitting diseases such as the Ross River
virus and the Barmah Forest virus. Some notable
Australian mosquito species include the saltmarsh
mosquito, a particularly aggressive biter, and
the common house mosquito, often found close to
human habitation.

WHERE DO MOSQUITOES LIVE?
Mosquitoes are found throughout Australia and can
inhabit various environments depending on the
species. However, they typically thrive in areas
with suitable breeding sites and sources of
standing water. Here are familiar places where
mosquitoes live in Australia Wetlands and
Marshes Mosquitoes are well-adapted to wetland
environments, including marshes, swamps, and
coastal areas. These habitats provide great
breeding sites, such as stagnant water pools,
ponds, and flooded areas. Urban Areas
Mosquitoes can be found in urban and suburban
environments, particularly in regions with high
humidity and adequate water sources. They can
breed in artificial containers like discarded
tires, flowerpots, birdbaths, and water-filled
containers found in residential areas.

HOW CAN I PREVENT MOSQUITO BITES?
Use Mosquito Repellent Apply an effective
mosquito repellent to exposed skin surfaces. Look
for products containing ingredients like DEET,
picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE), as
these are effective in repelling mosquitoes.
Follow the instructions on the repellent label
for proper and safe use. Avoid Peak Mosquito
Activity Mosquitoes are most active during dawn
and dusk. Therefore, limit your outdoor
activities during these times when mosquito
activity is highest.

WHAT DO MOSQUITOES EAT?
Female Mosquitoes Female mosquitoes feed on the
blood of animals, including mammals, birds,
reptiles, and amphibians. They have specialized
mouthparts called proboscis, which they use to
pierce the skin of their host and extract blood.
The protein obtained from the blood is essential
for egg development. Male Mosquitoes On the
other hand, male mosquitoes do not require blood
for their survival or reproduction. They
primarily feed on plant nectar and other sources
of sugar. Their diet comprises plant juices and
nectar from flowers or other plant parts.
