All about the mosquito

The mosquito is one of the insects and bugs in our Animal Kingdom. You can find it in near still water, and it eats nectar, and the females drink blood. Listen for it: a high whine. This page is a good fit for ages 5 to 10 (Kindergarten to 5th Grade), and Buzzby can read it out loud.

Is the mosquito one of the insects and bugs?

Yes. Insects have six legs and three body parts. Spiders and snails are bugs but not insects.
