There are fewer mosquitoes this year, is it because of the heat? What are the effects of high temper

The lack of mosquitoes this year is due to the fact that the high temperature has affected the breeding of mosquitoes. High temperatures can affect the rate and activity of mosquitoes.

The high temperature has an effect on the mosquitoes, but it is not that they die of heat, but they hide in a cool place, and it also affects reproduction.

Studies have found that when the water temperature exceeds 35, mosquito eggs, larvae, and pupae will stop developing and even die in large numbers. When the temperature is above 40, the water in outdoor ponds and puddles is constantly evaporated, and the water temperature is very high after exposure to the sun, and mosquitoes cannot lay eggs at all, and at the same time, they will slowly die.

People can die of heat, and mosquitoes should be able to, but I don't know how many degrees it will take for them to collapse

Mosquitoes are afraid of cold and heat. If the temperature is too high, mosquitoes will also die of heat.

In general, mosquitoes begin to appear in April every year and reach their peak activity in mid to late August. In autumn, when the climate gets cold and the temperature drops below 10, mosquitoes will stop breeding and die in large numbers, and very few mosquitoes will survive, and they will hide in places where they can take shelter from the wind and cold, such as in the cracks of walls, such as in warmer and more hidden places indoors, such as behind a wardrobe. However, they will avoid hotter places, such as heating, etc.

This can not only avoid the harsh winter, but also reduce the rate of metabolism and avoid starvation. It's kind of like hibernation.

Mosquitoes die of heat in temperatures of 40 degrees and above. Mosquitoes are in the water for several stages of development, from eggs to larvae to pupa, and they are particularly sensitive to water temperature. When the water temperature is between 15 and 26 C, mosquitoes reproduce and develop the fastest, which is the temperature that mosquitoes love the most.

When the temperature of the water body exceeds 35C, mosquito eggs, larvae, and pupae will stop developing, and even die in large numbers; And when the temperature is above 40°, mosquitoes are not able to lay eggs at all, and at the same time, they will slowly die.

Mosquitoes belong to the order Diptera, the mosquito family, also known as "mosquitoes", and are the most important group of medical insects. Mosquitoes are widely distributed and have many species, and so far there have been 3 subfamilies (Macropheles subfamily, Anopheles subfamily, Culex subfamily), 35 genera, and more than 3,600 species and subspecies of mosquitoes recorded in the world. More than 370 species have been discovered in China, of which more than half are mosquito species of the three genera Anopheles, Culex mosquitoes and Aedes mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes breed in water, and different types of mosquitoes breed in different water quality and types of stagnant water. Only female mosquitoes suck blood, and female mosquitoes must suck blood from their ovaries in order to develop and reproduce. Female mosquitoes mostly start to suck blood 2 to 3 days after emergence, and various factors such as temperature, humidity, and light can affect the blood-sucking activities of mosquitoes.

When the temperature is above 10°, it starts to suck blood; Generally, Aedes mosquitoes mostly suck blood during the day, and Anopheles mosquitoes and Culex mosquitoes mostly suck blood at night.

In fact, there are many problems in the summer every year, not only high temperatures and heavy rains, but also this kind of headache.

The problem is mosquitoes, don't underestimate this little mosquito, their buzzing sound will make people collapse directly when they sleep, once they are about to fall asleep, we will be awakened when we hear the buzzing sound rushing over. But have you noticed that since the beginning of summer this year, mosquitoes have felt significantly less, not as exaggerated as before, growing up in rural areas, I am still very observant of the number of mosquitoes every year, there are a lot of mosquitoes every year, and this year when I am in the countryside, I obviously feel that there are not as many mosquitoes as before. So are these mosquitoes killed by the heat?

Let's talk about this topic for a while. <>

First of all, mosquitoes need water in their living environment, because they need water to prevent mosquitoes from existing without water. From this point of view, we seem to understand why there are fewer and fewer mosquitoes this year, because the severe drought has caused the mosquitoes to live in a damaged environment, they have no place to lay eggs, so naturally many mosquitoes will disappear. Especially in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, where the drought is very severe, and I am a Chongqing native, under the hot temperatures, not only will the mosquitoes not be sunburned, but they will also be abnormally active, but the reduction of water resources will also make them disappear.

And there are fewer and fewer mosquitoes in the city, why is that? Because most of the people in the city are still relatively good at mosquito prevention, not only the floors are high, and many cities have installed screens, and there is no excess water in their homes for mosquitoes to lay eggs, so even if one or two mosquitoes are lucky enough to escape from the window, they will be starved to death, even if they breed together, but there is no place for them to lay eggs, they may lay eggs in the toilet, but we flush them down as soon as we go to the toilet, so, It feels like there are fewer and fewer mosquitoes.

It's kind of a heat death. Temperature has a greater impact on the activity and reproduction of mosquitoes, as they either fly in the air or stay on natural vegetation or man-made structures, and mosquitoes are not animals that can regulate body temperature, they are affected by air temperature and surface temperature far more than humans.

This year's mosquitoes are indeed killed by heat, and the temperature is particularly high, and the breeding of mosquitoes has been affected, so there will be fewer mosquitoes this year.

Yes, the temperature is high in many areas, and mosquitoes are dying out in such conditions.
