1. West Virginia has the fewest species of mosquitos in the USA
2. Mosquitos find food (us, ugh!) with antennas that detect the carbon dioxide in our breath, and heat sensors around their mouths
3. Mosquitos’ wings beat 1,000 times a second, making the familiar whining noise
4. Mosquitos are considered the deadliest animals in the world, as they can spread diseases when feeding on blood. One such disease, malaria, kills more than 1 million people a year.
