Why are there so many mosquitoes in summer?

Summer is the most suitable environment for mosquitoes to survive. It is hot and humid here, with high temperature, abundant water, rapid bacterial reproduction and excessive sweating in summer, which attracts female mosquitoes to suck blood and multiply, resulting in more and more mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes like to lay their eggs in clean water, such as rivers, rain pools, ponds, swamps, rice fields and mountain streams. In warm seasons, eggs can hatch into larvae in about three days, and begin to eat micro-organisms and protozoa growing in water.

Male mosquitoes only suck grass juice and live on nectar, not blood. Female mosquitoes have to feed on blood (human or animal blood) eggs after mating to develop and mature, so only female mosquitoes can spread diseases. Female mosquitoes can lay eggs once after full blood, and they can lay eggs six to eight times in their lives, with 200 to 300 eggs each time. So killing a mosquito early is equivalent to killing hundreds of mosquitoes.
