Mosquitoes are amazing biological drones, will find a victim by breath and skin smell (ie. toes), will conceal on dark surfaces from a distance so they have a space model of their victim's location, they also search for holes in clothing and bite thru it if possible. If they get too full of blood and heavy will walk to a safe location, will dodge attacks from larger animals, and begin a erratic flight pattern and free-falls to get lost. Also they are born with enough energy to fly a considerable distance.
- saganus 4y agoI am convinced they can also phase-shift out of this plane or something... You can be following a mosquito with all your attention, and suddenly they just dissapear and no amount of looking around, even with a bright flashlight, will be enough to find them. Until you give up, go do something else and they come back.
- tux3 4y agoThey don't mind using the third dimension, like dropping down to your knees or hiding near/on a ceiling. I've had one try to go behind my back while I was following it. They're clever enough to not move once hidden so making noise, light, or flailing around nearby won't make them fly away and reveal their hiding spot. But that's also their downfall when you do spot them. Cursed fucking creatures. They're optimized to perfectly ruin a good night's sleep, and for no good reason. A sufficiently pissed off human in an enclosed space always wins. The poor things get hungry first.
- saganus 4y agoOh yes. I am both amused and annoyed at their abilities.
