what is the maximum height that a mosquito can fly (feet or stories)?
109501
Several thousand metres at least. Mosquitoes carried on storm fronts have been responsible for the spread of several infectious diseases between islands and even between continents.\n\nInsects are also regularly collected form the jet stream htough I don't know if any mosquitoes have been collected from that height.\n\nCall it a 10, 000 feet minimum.\n\n>>> Max. 4 feet (or that is what a website says)\n\n\nWhat website would that be?\n\nHow could that possibly be true? According to that figure mosquitoes can't bite people on the face as long as they stand up. Nor could anyone be bitten at all unless they lived on the ground floor. Isn't your house more than 4 feet off the ground?

usually between 3 and 4 feet depending if it is a male or female.

23 feet from head to toe

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.

Wild turkeys can fly.  However, they don't typically fly more than a quarter mile or higher than fifty feet up.  In fact, wild turkeys can fly up to 50mph.  \n\nDomesticated turkeys cannot fly though.  Due to husbandry techniques that enhance muscle volume, they are simply too heavy to fly.

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.

clipped from www.wisegeek.com\n\nFor sheer length you can't beat a female Giant Walking Stick (Phobaeticus serratipes). Found in Malaysia and Singapore, looking like an assemblage of twigs, it is perfectly camouflaged among the branches where it lives. The longest specimen on record was an amazing 21.8" (55.5cm). Some people even keep these huge insects as pets.\n\nThe Giant Walking Stick may be long, but it doesn't have much mass. For that you have to turn to the giant scarab beetles. Among them, entomologists have settled on 5 contenders:\n\nThe South American Longhorn Beetle (Titanus giganteus) of French Guiana makes perhaps the most impressive showing with a body length over 6.5" (16.7cms).\n\nA shorter but far thicker competitor is the Acteon Beetle (Megasoma acteon) of South America. Males can grow to 5.3" (13.5cms) long by 1.6" (4cms) thick. \n\nThe Elephant Beetle (Megasoma elephas) found in Mexico and Venezuela has a shorter body than the Aceton, but a longer snout, making its total recorded length 5.4" (13.7cms).\n\nBringing up the rear are two species of Goliathus: regius and goliatus, both measuring in at 4.3" (11cms).\n\nIn 1874 the Rev. J. G. Wood published Insects Abroad, in which he claimed to have in his possession a 9" (22.8cm) South American Longhorn Beetle (Titanus). A specimen this large has never been documented since, and no one is quite sure what method he used to measure the bug. Therefore the accepted recorded length remains at 6.5" (16.7cms), which still leads the top five contenders.\n\nAlthough the Giant Walking Stick and scarab beetles win for length and mass, for sheer weight you'll have to turn to the giant wetas (Deinacrida heteracantha) of New Zealand. A pregnant female can top the scales at over 2 ounces (71gms)! \n\nThere are well over 1 million insect species known, with an estimated 10 million still undocumented. However, the title of world's biggest insect remains a matter of what constitutes "biggest" to you: length, mass or weight!

Mosquitoes can ingest up to three times or more than their own body weight in blood. This is normally about 5 microliters.

Most dragonflies are not really all that swift in the air, at most about 10 to 15 km per hour.  Most birds are much faster.\n\nWhat they lack in speed though, they make up for in agility.  Dragonflies are extremely maneuverable, able to make very tight corners, hover and dart about change directions very quickly.  This, combined with their excellent vision is what makes them difficult prey and formiddable aerial hunters.

Several miles.  They can also fly high enough that you can't hear them.
