I have recently shifted to the apartment which my mother has bought 3 years back. Why have I shifted the question cannot be answered right now. The point is how we spent yesterday. Since i was feeling moody yesterday i invited my friends to my apartment which is in lothukunta. My friends travelled to the outskirts of the city where my flat s located and we had a great drink and dine nearby and we arrived at our flat only to find there are no fans that is because the fans fixed earlier were not running properly so we had to change and my aunt had them removed very promptly to replace them but then the electrician showed us his finger. As Iam used to sleep on the terrace ( remember I slept only on terrace through out last summer that too the house was near to cemetry but there were no deadly creatures like hummers ) suggested everyone will lie down in the cool night breeze of hyderabad. Our struggle strted after we finished playing cards and decided to go upstairs the breeze was cool but then it showed signs of a rain goin to start. we slept until it drizzled and then moved downstairs there it was sweaty and these horirble creatures started harming us. i wonder what material are they made of so sharp are these creatures. Iam giving their pictures and their description below also are the diseases they bring to humans. Let me complete the night out.
By that time i was fast asleep then all of a sudden one of our friends woke up disturbing my sleep and asking me to lock the house so that we all can go upstairs. Thats it i didn't sleep until its 5 am in the morning after the namaz prayers that were heard from a nearby mosque.
The entertainment kept on running until 5am credits to my friends karthik and bhavakanth that wasnot at all boring. The atmosphere was funfilled and exciting experience. Now iam back at work as usual but with a little difference that is I caught cold severe cold coughing and sneezing.
MOSQUITO
The mosquito is a common flying insect that is found around the world. There are about 2,700 species of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can fly about 1 to 1.5 miles per hour (1.6-2.4 kph).
Mosquito Bites: Females drink blood and the nectar of plants; the males only sip plant nectar. When a female bites, she also injects an anticoagulant (anti-clotting chemical) into the prey to keep the victim's blood flowing. She finds her victims by sight and smell, and also by detecting their warmth. Not all mosquito species bite humans.
Disease Carrier: The mosquito is often a carrier of diseases, such as malaria, encephalitis, yellow fever, dengue fever, dog heartworm, West Nile virus, and many others. The females, who drink blood, can carry disease from one animal to another as they feed.
Anatomy: Like all insects, the mosquito has a body divided into three parts (head, thorax, and abdomen), a hard exoskeleton, and six long, jointed legs. Mosquitoes also have a pair of veined wings. They have a straw-like proboscis and can only eat liquids.
Life Cycle: The complete life-cycle of a mosquito takes about a month. After drinking blood, adult females lay a raft of 40 to 400 tiny white eggs in standing water or very slow-moving water. Within a week, the eggs hatch into larvae (sometimes called wrigglers) that breathe air through tubes which they poke above the surface of the water. Larvae eat bits of floating organic matter and each other. Larvae molt four times as they grow; after the fourth molt, they are called pupae (also called tumblers). Pupae also live near the surface of the water, breathing through two horn-like tubes (called siphons) on their back. Pupae do not eat. An adult emerges from a pupa when the skin splits after a few days. The adult lives for only a few weeks.
Classification: Kingdom Animalia; Phylum Arthropoda; Class Insecta; Order Diptera ("two wings"); Family Culicidae.
