Mosquitoes are harmful insects. They carry germs that cause dengue fever or malaria. Mosquitoes usually breed in stagnant water. During the day, they stay in dark, shady places. They only come out in the evening, at night or when it is dark. A mosquito sucks blood. When it bites, it makes the skin very itchy. We must try to stop mosquitoes from breeding easily.
