A mosquito with a mass of 2.5 grams will have 100% of its weight either used by the decomposers or returned to the earth.

Biological Decomposition

Every organism that dies is decomposed by decomposers. Decomposers include bacteria, fungi, etc.

Decomposers decompose dead organic matter for their own energy. They extracellularly digest organic matters and then absorb digested materials into their system.

Other decomposed materials that do not serve as foods for decomposers are returned to the earth.

Thus, 100% of every dead organic matter is either used by decomposers or returned to the earth.
