Mosquitos are small insects, but they can cause a lot of trouble! They feed on the blood of other animals, and people like us too. A mosquito bite can be itchy, and in some cases, it can become very swollen. In addition to that, mosquitos can make people very sick, especially in some parts of the world, where they carry bad diseases like Malaria. Why do they bite us? The short answer is that our blood is what they eat.
