How high do mosquitoes fly?  Do swarms of mosiquotes hover at 15 feet or above?

Mosquitoes tend not to fly very high, as it makes them susceptible to the elements.  They usually prefer guerrilla tactics, hiding in vegetation, flying out when a blood meal is close.  \n\nAnother thing is that mosquitoes rarely swarm.  When you see a swarm of "mosquito-like" insects flying up in the air, 9 out of 10 times they are MIDGES, a small insect that somewhat resembles the mosquito.

The fly get's very close to the ceiling, then put's up it's two front legs.  These legs grasp the ceiling and the fly does a "handstand" and flips over.

no.  insects have six legs.

My guess would be yes.\n\nFlies LOVE dead things, and blood..ewww...I'll bet there were swarms of flies.

Mosquitos don't care to much about how cold it gets in their dormant phase, so long as there is some warm time for their active phase\n\nI have been savaged by Mosquitos in Alaska a couple of hundred miles north of Anchorage.\n\nI assume there are some of the little buggers that come out for the brief summer in Nome.

Mosquitoes flap their wings at a high frequency which causes waves in the air. These waves are nothing but sound waves of frequency within audible range. thus you can hear the sound.

Yes. Many spiders build their webs so that they are more than two feet from the ground.

You answered the question urself\nBUTTERfly..........DRAGONfly

insects have an ectoskeleton, it's on the outside.  It's like armour.  Now imagine if they were the size of humans, it would be very easy for them to take over the world.  They'd be unstoppable!

Well, according to the scriptures, it can fly a distance of 600 bazillion miles. \n\nThat was sarcasm. Do your own damn homework.

"Damn....look at the size of that mosquito!"

A question for the ages!  \n\nFound this on Relative Motion for ya...\n\nIt would depend if your windows are rolled up or not, If the windows are rolled up then the fly would continue to hover next to you, because when you accelerate all the air in the car with you would also accelerate, this would be a single reference frame.  If the windows were down or you would have a convertible with the top down and a rear windscreen and accelerated it would be possible to catch the fly in the rear windscreen because the air next to your head would remain in place as the car moved, although the fly would probably start flying to avoid the upcoming object.

Bumblebees can fly. On an average, a bumblebee travels at a rate of 3 meters per second, beating its wings 130 times per second.\n\nHow did this business of proving that a bumblebee can't fly originate? Who started the story?\n\nOne set of accounts suggests that the story first surfaced in Germany in the 1930s. One evening at dinner, a prominent aerodynamicist happened to be talking to a biologist, who asked about the flight of bees. To answer the biologist's query, the engineer did a quick "back-of-the-napkin" calculation.\n\nTo keep things simple, he assumed a rigid, smooth wing, estimated the bee's weight and wing area, and calculated the lift generated by the wing. Not surprisingly, there was insufficient lift. That was about all he could do at a dinner party. The detailed calculations had to wait. To the biologist, however, the aerodynamicist's initial failure was sufficient evidence of the superiority of nature to mere engineering. \n\nWhatever its origins, the story has had remarkable staying power, and the myth persists that science says a bumblebee can't fly. Indeed, this myth has taken on a new life of its own as a piece of "urban folklore" on the Internet.\n\nIn some sense, the story has done its share to inspire further research. In recent years, scientists have tackled the problem of insect flight from a number of different angles and gained new insights into the complexities of powered flight. \n\nIt's quite possible, for instance, to calculate correctly the area of a rectangular piece of property just by multiplying the length times the width. Yet you can still get the "wrong answer" from a practical point of view, maybe because the measurements of the length and width were inaccurate or there was some ambiguity about the plot's boundaries or shape.\n\nSo, no one "proved" that a bumblebee can't fly. What was shown was that a certain simple mathematical model wasn't adequate or appropriate for describing the flight of a bumblebee.\n\nInsect flight and wing movements can be quite complicated. Wings aren't rigid. They bend and twist. Stroke angles change. New, improved models take that into account.

Mosquitoes! They add to misery, subtract from pleasure, divide your attention and multiply quickly

From a foot to inches.Then the fly will leap into the air before starting it's tiny wings a beating as to fly.
