Are there no mosquitoes after the Millennium?

There are still mosquitoes after the Millennium, but not so many, because the Millennium is the third solar term in autumn, and its arrival means that the sultry summer is over and the weather is getting colder and colder. After the Millennium, when the weather gets colder and the temperature drops, mosquitoes can no longer breed, and the number of mosquitoes will decrease, but some are still alive.

Mosquitoes, belonging to Diptera and Mosquitoidae, also known as "mosquitoes", are the most important medical insect groups. Mosquitoes are widely distributed and have many kinds. Up to now, there are more than 3600 species and subspecies of mosquitoes belonging to 35 genera in the world.

Male and female mosquitoes have different feeding habits. Male mosquitoes are "vegetarians" who specialize in feeding on nectar from plants and juice from fruits, stems and leaves.

Female mosquitoes must feed on ovaries to develop and reproduce. Female mosquitoes begin to suck blood 2 ~ 3 days after emergence, and many factors such as temperature, humidity and light will affect mosquito's blood-sucking activity.
