Adult females vary widely in size.
For example, The Asian tiger mosquito, which is common in Florida, is among the smallest. Other mosquitoes you are likely to find in your yard and house are usually bigger. And, the largest mosquitoes that you see do not bite humans or animals at all. Adult females can live from 2 to 14 days while the males live only long enough to mate usually 3 or 4 days. Only female mosquitoes bite.
