[23:16:25] <exec> 08└─I wouldn't discount the mosquitoes "heat sensors" as yet. If a warmer object is in the same room, will mosquitoes leave me alone and pick the warmer object? If true, how come the entire humanity didn't notice this over its entire history, small candles were not that unusual [pinimg.com]

[23:16:30] <exec> 08└─Keeping a fan on at night, even gently, seemed very effective at preventing bites. I always thought it was because they can't fly very well but disturbing the heat convection also could be a factor. Little bastards.

[23:16:32] <exec> 08└─So they have a preferred temperature range. Calling it 'heat seeking' vs 'cold avoiding' seems like semantics to me.

[23:16:36] <exec> 08└─Mosquitoes seem split between seeking food and avoiding danger. Cold, while not an attack, slows their metabolism making them less capable of both detecting prey and avoiding predators. To reinforce this, prey is more likely to be found in warmer areas, for much the same reason. I believe the concen...
