WHAT'S THAT BUZZ? ( Mosquitoes)-Original Artwork by Vickie Leigh Krudwig
They are pesty, they buzz, and they bite! In Colorado alone there are more than 45 different species of mosquitoes. They show up just about everywhere in the springtime and during the summer! They thrive in standing water like birdbaths, flowerpots, puddles, along rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and just about anywhere where it is moist. Females lay their eggs in habitats that have water. They can smell your breath (carbon dioxide) from 60-75 feet away, and are attracted to certain chemicals on the skin. Females need lots of protein to lay her eggs. She gets blood from animals and humans alike. When the female bites, she leaves a red itchy welt. Some bites can cause serious illness.
