Best Answer

The largest mosquito is a species called Toxorhynchites speciosus.

They grow up to one and a half inches (the females always larger than the males). They are native to Australia and do not bite people/animals and they do not drink blood.

Their nickname is "Mosquito hawks", because despite being mosquitoes themselves, they eat other species of mosquito. They also occasionally eat sap, honeydew and the rotting flesh of fruit.

They lay their eggs inside a nest which contains the eggs of other mosquito species. When the mosquito hawk eggs hatch, the larvae eats the eggs of the other mosquito species.
