FUN FACT 📢 Did you know that… mosquitoes use a combination of active and passive mechanisms to escape from being swatted? 🦟 We all know how difficult it is to swat a mosquito flying at night in your bedroom, but do we know why? Yes! Scientists from Wageningen University & Research have demonstrated that mosquitos achieve this by surfing the airflow bow wave generated by your swatting hand. Combine this with a mosquito's keen senses and quick reflexes, and that's how these little bloodsuckers escape imminent death. Want to know more about this?
