What Is a Mosquito?

Let’s breakdown what exactly a mosquito is. The most common mosquito found in Magnolia Texas is the Asian tiger mosquito. These mosquitos have distinctive black and white markings on their bodies and legs. Additionally, their thorax is distinguished with a single white stripe that does down the middle. Adult Asian tiger mosquitos only grow to be about ¼ inch long.

MosquitoThey have long legs, a slender body, and a set of clear wings. Their heads have antennae that look like thread, with compound eyes, and mouthparts that are slender. This makes for easy sucking of blood. The Asian tiger mosquito was first documented in Texas in 1985 and has grown exponentially in population. It is the females in this species that are the biters. Males do not bite and have very hairy antennae that almost look like a feather. They use these antennae to find females to populate with.

Mosquito Mating

Once a male and female mosquito have mated, depending on the species, the female will deposit her eggs on top of standing water, on plants, or on moist flood prone soil. It takes on average sixteen to twenty-four hours before the eggs will hatch. After the mosquito egg is hatched, it takes an additional seven days before the mosquitos start pupating. Once pupated the adult mosquitos will emerge from the back of the pupa within two to three days. Adult mosquitos live for approximately two weeks.
