     allied genera. The females have a proboscis containing,
     within the sheathlike labium, six fine, sharp, needlelike
     organs with which they puncture the skin of man and animals
     to suck the blood. These bites, when numerous, cause, in many
     persons, considerable irritation and swelling, with some
     pain. The larv[ae] and pup[ae], called wigglers, are aquatic.
     [Written also musquito.]
     [1913 Webster]
