query: What is the largest type of mosquito?
passage: Toxorhynchites
Toxorhynchites, also called elephant mosquito or mosquito eater, is a genus of diurnal and often relatively colorful mosquitoes, found worldwide between about 35° north and 35° south. It includes the largest known species of mosquito, at up to 18mm (0.71in) in length and 24mm (0.94in) in wingspan.[1] It is among the many kinds of mosquito that do not consume blood. The adults subsist on carbohydrate-rich materials, such as honeydew, or saps and juices from damaged plants, refuse, fruit, and nectar.[2]
passage: Euscorpius
The species range in colour from yellow-brown to dark brown. Many are brown with yellow legs and stinger. The largest is "E. italicus" at 5 cm (2 in), and the smallest is "E. germanus" at 1.5 cm (0.6 in). The venom of "Euscorpius" species is generally very weak, with effects similar to a mosquito bite. Some smaller specimens may not even be able to puncture the human skin with their stings.
