Mosquitoes can fly as fast as 1 to 1.5 miles per hour. This means that the average person can easily outrun a mosquito by walking at a brisk pace.
The mosquito’s low flight speed is why active children do not get bitten by mosquitoes as often as adults. Adults are stationary targets and an easy landing zone for mosquitoes. Children move around a lot more, and a running child is an almost impossible place to land.
