When Do Mosquitoes Come Out at Night?

Whether you’re going to enjoy a nice summer day outdoors or spend time in the woods, it’s important to know when mosquitoes come out at night. These cold-blooded creatures can cause serious discomfort, irritate skin, and even transmit diseases. They are also known to carry malaria, which is estimated to cause half of all human deaths.

Some species are more active during the day, while others are more active at night. The temperature and the local geography can affect the number of mosquitoes that bite you.

Mosquitoes are active most during the warmest months of the year. In the U.S., these animals usually emerge from hibernation when temperatures reach 50 degrees Fahrenheit. When the weather is cooler, they molt and lay eggs.

The female mosquito’s egg hatches after one to three days, and the larvae develop over a week or so. The fourth instar larva is almost a quarter inch long and is covered in a cocoon.

Mosquitoes prefer to live in warmer, humid climates. They can be found in areas with wet and shaded areas, as well as in wetlands. During the summer, mosquitoes seek out dark, sheltered places for shelter and rest. They avoid the sun at this time of the day, as it can dehydrate them and kill them.

If you’re planning on venturing outside, close your windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out. This will protect you from exposure to the elements and prevent dehydration.
