    The housefly is 8 times the mass of the mosquito.

    In standard form, the mass of the mosquito is given by 0.0000025. The mass of the housefly is given by 0.00002. Since it is a larger number, we will divide this by the mass of the mosquito to find how many times bigger it is:

    0.00002/0.0000025 = 8
