Native here. I know mosca, mosquito, mosquita, moscón, moscarda, moscardón and even moscoso and mosquearse.

But "mosco", really?

Native of where? In Colombia mosco or mosca is commonly used as fly, and zancudo is mosquito.

Mosquito is also mosquito if you're americanized.

Spain. I have a colombiano friend and I've heard zancudo often, but not mosco. Never mind, I'm going to use mosco exclusively from now on to annoy fellow spaniards, it's catchy :-)
