what's the average life of a mosquito
By and large mosquitoes survive anywhere from four days to a month depending upon temperatures and adjustment to its circumstances. Their average life span is from 10 - 14 days. Nonetheless, if they cope to get away from predators, female mosquito species can survive to about two to three months.
West Nile Virus has not only been found in mosquitoes, birds, humans, and pets, it has also been found in alligators and elephants. Mosquitoes also feed on some reptiles and amphibians, including snakes, frogs and toads. Estimates for the number of mosquito species in the entire world range from 2500 to 3000. Most male mosquitoes only live for two weeks. Female mosquitoes often live up to a month or more, but they can certainly cause a lot of problems during that short time!
