Male
mosquitoes find humans from 10 meters away, they do not suck human blood, yet
why do they hover around them? As per
scientists’ views, Mosquitoes buzzing around in the ear are always annoying,
but they don't always come to bother you. Especially, male mosquitoes, because
they do not suck human blood.
The female mosquito only does the work of
infecting by sucking human blood. New research says, male mosquitoes are
attracted by female mosquitoes and female mosquitoes go to humans, so male
mosquitoes also go near to humans but the purpose was not to suck the blood but
meet to the female mosquitoes.
Do you know, what interesting things related to
mosquitoes were revealed in recent research? First, let us know, How do these mosquitoes find humans? Scientists say that mosquitoes find humans only from a distance of about 10 meters. The reason for this is carbon-di-oxide ie CO2. Humans take in oxygen and release carbon-di-oxide. Mosquitoes, looking for the source of this CO2, reach humans within a few seconds and start biting. However, the work of biting humans is done by the female mosquito.
Male mosquitoes depend on the sap of flowers to satisfy their hunger. New research says that even though male mosquitoes do not suck human blood, they are no less than female mosquitoes. According to research published in the Journal of Medical Entomology, until now it was believed that male mosquitoes do not roam around humans, but this is not so. In recent research, It has also been proved. Scientists find out that male mosquitoes also hover around humans, an experiment on Aedes aegypti species was done. Only male mosquitoes of this species were released in one yard. These were monitored with the help of cameras. It was proved during research that they are attracted to humans. At the same time, the female mosquito flies away after sucking the blood of a human.
Research
says, male mosquitoes hang around humans for a long time and rarely sit
anywhere. Why do they go to humans when they do not suck blood? Why do male
mosquitoes approach humans when they do not suck blood? In answer to this
question, scientists say, finding female mosquitoes behind this could be a
reason. Usually, female mosquitoes hover around humans to suck blood, so male
mosquitoes roam around the same place to breed. Although scientists say, more
research is still needed to find out the more precise reason.
