mosquito's

Buzzing pest's possession

Mosquito's is the possessive form of mosquito, indicating something belonging to or associated with the insect: a mosquito's buzz, a mosquito's lifespan.

Less commonly, it appears as an informal contraction of "mosquito is" or "mosquito has": That mosquito's been circling my head for ten minutes.
