Family CULICIDAE 



The "Mosquitoes" hardly require a description: their appearance, their song and their 

 sting are familiar to evei-yone. The larvae of all are aquatic and are commonly knowTi as 

 "wrigglers." The barrels used for collecting rain water in many parts of the country fairly 

 swarm with the young of mosquitoes. If these receptacles are not left imcovered urmecessarily 

 and a little kerosene is poured on any small pools or marshy spots near dwellings a great deal 

 of discomfort may be avoided. The female mosquito alone can sting, the males feeding upon 

 flowers.
