Pest Organisms / Yellow Fever Mosquito
Kids
The yellow fever mosquito is a tiny insect with stripey legs and a fancy violin-shaped pattern on its back. Unlike mosquitoes that come out at night, this one bites during the day — basically the early bird of the bug world, except the worm is you. Source: https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/IN792
It grows up in water — even a little puddle in an old cup or a bird bath. The best way to have fewer of them is to tip out anything outside that holds water, so they have nowhere to lay eggs.
