The mosquito “little fly” an important role in the pollination of flowers and vegetable crops. These pollinators help with the transfer of pollen from the male essential organ, stamen to the female essential organ, pistil, or stigma. The species are responsible for pollinating squash, tomato, cucumber, eggplant, okra, potato, kiwifruit, pumpkin, watermelon, cantaloupe, blueberry, and apple. Mosquitoes also pollinate a variety of flower species, including the daisy, goldenrod, butterfly bush, cow parsnip, dandelion, coneflower, borage, and Dahlia.
Mosquitoes are of the “Cullicidae” family, which has approximately 3,600 members. The species meet the criteria to be classified as flying insects. The insect mouthparts are elongated, with unique stylets that replicate needles. The insect injects its stylets into the skin of humans and animals.

Mosquitoes are drawn to ponds, stagnant water, lakes, kiddie pools, and marshes. Anywhere there is standing water, mosquitoes will target. Emptying kiddie pools between each use, divert rainwater and runoff away from the property, and installing underground drainage systems will help deter further mosquito infestation.
