Dengue for a long time it’s a problem in Brazil. We already know the main symptoms and how to combat the reproduction of the transmitting mosquito, the Temples of the Egyptians. However, what many people still have doubts about is the difference between the dengue mosquito and the mosquito, which ends up causing difficulties in identifying the other.
First, the dengue mosquito and the mosquito are insects of different families. While the first is Temples of the Egyptiansthe stilt is the A five-faced mosquito. The two can be identified both in flight and at rest.
The two have different colors: the black-winged stilt has a uniform brown color and the Temples of the Egyptians has the black body with white stripes. Furthermore, the dimensions are also different: the dengue mosquito measures from 3 to 4 millimeters, while the mosquito is larger, with a size between 5 and 7 millimeters.
Even the characteristics and flying habits of both are not the same. While the mosquito has a slower and noisier flight (generating a buzz), or Temples of the Egyptians it is faster and quieter and usually attacks from 9am to 1pm. Mosquitoes, in turn, act at night, from 18.00.
Another difference is in the puncture. While the mosquito causes a red, itchy bump, the mosquito dengue leaves no marks and not itchy. OR Temples of the Egyptians it is also the transmitter of Chikungunya fever, yellow fever and Zica virus.
It is worth mentioning that both lay their eggs in standing water, but the dengue mosquito prefers clean water and lays eggs individually in multiple locations. The mosquito lays its eggs together, in the shape of a raft, in dirty or polluted water.
