Bzzzzzzz, bzzzzzzzz! That telltale sound is from one of the most famous, or should we say infamous, blood suckers around. Mosquitoes might have a reputation for their bites, but there is so much more to learn about these tiny, sneaky insects. Let’s learn more about mosquitoes together in this educational video for kids.

Along with their small size, mosquitos have long legs, thin bodies, and two wings. Want to know an interesting fact? Mosquitoes can flap their wings around 600 times per second. That is why you can hear them buzzing!

Their long mouthpart is called a probiscis, and they it to suck liquids like nectar or blood. They live in warm, wet places all over the world, usually sticking near ponds, marshes, and puddles because they lay their eggs in the water.
