I am not a fan of mosquitoes either—their bites are itchy and they are quite deadly. But I implore you all to put aside personal biases for a moment. Some of the words are genuinely very nice and pleasant, and mosquitoes are actually quite interesting to research, even if they are a bit of a nuisance.

For example, not all species of mosquito suck human blood, such as the Uranotaenia sapphirina, which sucks the blood of annelids.

Also, only the females suck blood. Males are actually pollinators! And very few mosquito species out of all 3000+ of them suck human blood and spread diseases.

If you’d like to keep the nasty biters away, they hate certain smells and noises (although I do not recommend blasting music all night long). Some of the smells they hate are smoke, lavender, citronella, peppermint, and more. If you are unlike me—who gets a headache every time I smell something a little too strong—this might be a more pleasant way of keeping the beasts at bay.

Anyways, this is my mosquito propaganda B) don’t worry, I don’t always talk about mosquitoes (and my favorite insect is actually the Hercules beetle). I’m actually an artist on break (art block).

(PS: I did go a little overboard with the mosquito submissions. Sorry, my friend)
