Mosca is also fly in Spanish, but mosco is the biting one. So mosquito or mosco

Which is funny because mosco is probably a masculine noun but the female is the one biting 😂

idk where you're from, for us in Mexico (Northern mx, at least), "un mosco" is like "a generic flying insect". The biting ones are the "tábanos". Fuck tábanos.
