RE: A Cloud of Mosquitoes Puts the Bees Out of a Job (Fiction)

in #agriculture6 years ago

Yes, I got that idea from the first article I linked in the post, which was recent and quite genuine. Male mosquitoes (and both sexes of one mosquito species) actually feed only on plant nectar, not on blood. There is a scientist looking for the gene that makes female mosquitoes attracted to blood, because if they can turn that one off, then mosquitoes would not bite anymore.
