How long have mosquitoes been around?

Mosquitoes Have Been Around

Ever wish those pesky little creatures would just go away permanently? Don't count on it. Mosquitoes have been around for more than 170 million years. That's a pretty good record for a bug that only weighs, on average, between 2 and 2.5 milligrams.

The truth is that their instincts pre-program their life's behavior. They are able to adapt and refine these progrmas accordingly and thus stand the test of time.
