Mosquitoes feed on nectar from small flowers and grasses. Some mosquito species prefer to bite birds, others horses, and some will even bite frogs and turtles. Mosquitoes can fly considerable distances, some up to 30 km. Mosquitoes do not breed in grasses or shrubs although as adults they will often rest in these areas during the day. Mosquitoes are responsible for more human death than any other living creature.
Mosquitoes do transmit dog and cat heartworm.
