I really want to after reading this article, the reader form a good attitude to all mosquito genus, which include, inter alia, and the crane fly.After thirty-two mosquito families only have four kinds of sucking blood.They formed such a bad name for mosquitoes.
resident humid forest glades and meadows peripaludal crane fly only in appearance - very frightening and large insect.But in reality it is only the nectar food and decaying plant residues, so it has nothing to do with the dangerous malarial mosquitoes and blood-sucking species.
crane-fly in the old days in Russia were called karamorami.The Latin name them - Tipulidae.This insect belonging to the order Diptera and suborder Nematocera.Most often, it is a huge mosquito up to forty millimeters, but is in the nature of a lot of crane flies, medium-sized, and they all have long legs.Depending on the environment, crane fly may be grayish, yellowish-green, brownish color.From a thousand species of these insects in the territory of Russia and CIS countries is of four kinds.
High humidity - these are the main condition for the development of these insects.Adults lay eggs in the soil or moss-covered wood, sometimes directly into the water.The larvae have a swampy color, to match with the environment.As for the food they serve decaying plant residues, root wood and vegetable crops.The first phase of development of the larvae takes place in the upper soil layer or in rotting stumps and branches of trees, at the bottom of swamps and ponds with standing or running water.Being able to pupa, they are already moving, relying thorn available to them in the head, on the ground.
Unlike crane-fly, it is absolutely safe for humans, it is found in areas with a tropical climate tropical mosquito that happens to people deadly.One of its bite can be enough for mortality from malaria or fever.For example, in African countries, there were in our time of the epidemic, taking a half to two and a half million people.It should be noted that malarial mosquitoes get along well with agents of these diseases, however, sucked infected blood, the mosquito transmit the disease to the healthy person in a week.During this time, germs in it ripen, held a preparatory stage, and then the bite another victim infect it.
for mosquitoes humidity - the most important condition of good development.They reproduce very well right in the water.Of the eggs laid in the water appear like the larvae of worms.They flipped upside down in the water, surface water caught on film tail and breathe them.Sensing the danger, or for some excitement on the water, larvae and pupae easily dive to the bottom, there is feeling good about themselves and develop two weeks older.
crane fly live long.Its a female die in two months, and the mosquito - much earlier.
