I learned that yellow lights attract mosquito's less than blue lights.
ReplyDeleteMosquitos can breed in just a tiny amount of water!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the yellow light. I thought the blue worked better.
ReplyDeleteI learned that male mosquitoes feed on plant nectars, but female mosquitoes also bite in order to extract protein from blood to use in egg production.
ReplyDeleteI learned that i need to use a yellow light to help deter them.
ReplyDeleteI missed two of the quiz questions. I should have known that perfumes attract mosquitoes.
ReplyDeleteGood thing I don't wear perfume. I'm a mosquito magnet even without it!
ReplyDeleteI am allergic to their bites! It's disturbing they can thrive in any amount of water, so be sure to check the property for any standing water!
ReplyDeleteI learned that I should use a yellow light, not blue
