Everything You Wanted To Know About Mosquitoes But Were Afraid To Ask
If you eat bananas on Vacation you are more likely to attract Mosquitoes as they are geared up to sense the strong chemical odour that bananas give off. Mosquitoes are 500 times more active on a Full Moon, due to the fact that in Good Night Light they can see movement better and catch up to their Prey. Mosquitoes wings flap approximately 500 times per second. Mosquitoes kill more people every year (mostly children) than any other living creature on the planet. Mosquitoes are repelled by citronella because it irritates them. Mosquitoes tend to bite children more than adults, due to their softer skin, and bite blondes more than brunettes since their movement is much easier to see thanks to their bright hair. A Mosquito can see movement clearly, against the background from up to 6 yards distance. The life expectancy of female mosquitoes varies from Three to One Hundred days approx. Male Mosquitoes only live Ten to Twenty days maximum. Female Mosquitoes lay around 300 eggs per delivery and fly up to 240 Kilometres in their life. Also their habitat extends from the seaside to the mountain tops at altitude levels of up to 11,000 Feet (that’s 3,600 metres). A Mosquito can grow from hatching to adult for breeding purposes in only Four to Seven days. Do you know how many different species of Mosquitoes exist ? Well the answer is over 2,700 types ! Well now what is the weight of an adult Mosquito ? It’s around Two Milligrams for the most common type. The amount of Blood Female Mosquito consumes per meal is approximately 0.0000005 Litre for the most common species.

How Does A Mosquito Find You ?
It has three ways of tracking you down for attack:
1. Firstly they can see you when you move, ie. not when you are completely stationary. But don’t forget that Mosquitoes have Night Vision (Heat Vision) and they can see your Body Warmth Radiation Emission in complete darkness, when you think you are invisible at night they can see you as clear as if it was day !
2. Secondly Mosquitoes home in on you using the vapour trail that your breath creates, because they sense the carbon dioxide in your breath.
3. Your sweat contains lactic acid and you now know that Mosquitoes can detect you from your perspiration and seek your B.O. amongst other chemicals that you secrete.
Mosquitoes have a low flying speed of only Two Kilometres per hour approx. The distance range of some Mosquitoes can be as high as 150 Kilometres.
Mosquitoes can detect you with their chemical sensors from a longer distance than they can see you, which is up to Forty Yards maximum.
They attack cows more than people, because cows emit more carbon dioxide than us, and are thus easier to locate.
When you put a thin film of oil on a stagnant pond where Mosquitoes breed, it kills the mosquito larvae. This is because the oil clogs up the larvae’s breathing tube and makes it suffocate to death.
As you know Mosquitoes have bad vision, however they are similar to the latest military technology in heat seek missiles. They do not have single eyes like us, but the compound spherical eyes of most insects which is constituted of many light sensitive spots with blind spots included. This is why they cannot see at all from more than 10 yards approx. From 3 yards distance they still have problems telling the difference between an oil drum, a plant and you.
However at this same distance their superior chemical detection capability will allow them to locate your direction. Also their highly developed heat receptors at the end of their antennae will detect your blood heat in your skin easily at this distance whether it is night or day, because you are warm blooded and they see heat which is invisible to us. At times of high humidity the detection range of their chemical receptors improves by 300% as they work more efficiently in wet conditions.
Can Mosquitoes Transmit The HIV AIDS Virus ?
Many studies in this area have concluded that the AIDS HIV Virus responsible for AIDS illness is looked on as nutrition by the Mosquitoes’ Digestive System and thus broken down as food with the infected blood meal.
From the contaminated Mosquito Mouth Parts however many hundreds of fatal diseases are transmitted, thus killing millions of children every year.
Mosquitoes inject their saliva into you, to lubricate their needle (proboscis) for insertion and thus infect you with bacteria, virus and parasites before they feed on your blood.
The digestive tract and the salivary tract are completely separate tubes in Mosquitoes. The mosquito's feeding apparatus is a very highly complex piece of engineering and is not like a hospital hypodermic needle as you might think.
The syringe has one simple tube in it, whereas Mosquitoes inject saliva via one pathway and then drink blood through another. Therefore the food tube does not get cleaned like a needle and carries the infection even though the blood flows only one way.
The engineering in mosquitoes feeding tubes is not simple, and thus the astounding “Pesky Kitoes” are more than just infected flying hospital needles.
