As the saying goes in the countryside, "mosquitoes are as fierce as tigers after autumn". Why do mosquitoes not disappear after summer, but become more powerful?

For those who suffer in summer, the most anticipated solar term is beginning of autumn, because it will get colder after beginning of autumn. As the saying goes? An autumn rain and a cold? In other words, if it rains before beginning of autumn, there will be plenty of rain and a bumper harvest in autumn. However, although it is already beginning of autumn, mosquitoes will still appear in the morning and evening, and these mosquitoes are particularly painful to bite, because these words also know that the weather is getting cold, so we should absorb more energy for the winter.

After beginning of autumn, people in cities may not feel this way, but people living in rural areas will find that mosquitoes are particularly powerful at this time, and biting people is particularly painful. Because there are many trees in front of and behind houses in rural areas, which are close to farmland and ponds, there are more mosquitoes. After beginning of autumn, the weather turned cold and the rain gradually increased. At this time, the climate is more suitable and very suitable for the growth and reproduction of mosquitoes, so there must be more mosquitoes than in summer.

Because winter is coming, female mosquitoes should also draw more energy for winter at this time. The temperature in summer is relatively high, and mosquitoes actually have no appetite like people. When I bite again, I basically bite and run away, and I don't really want to suck blood. But after beginning of autumn, mosquitoes will instinctively find the right time when they see people. They will try their best to suck blood, want to fatten themselves up, and then have the ability to withstand the cold winter. If a mosquito has less energy at this time, it is basically very sad in winter and there is no way to lay eggs.

After beginning of autumn, female mosquitoes need a lot of nutrition. When their appetites get better, they will suck a lot of blood when they find their targets, so people will think that mosquitoes in beginning of autumn are itchy and painful when they bite people. After retirement, the weather will not cool immediately, and it usually takes about a month. Therefore, mosquitoes will not disappear immediately after beginning of autumn, but will wait for about a month, and mosquitoes will gradually disappear when the weather gets cold. During this period, protective measures should be taken.
