Did you know that only female mosquitoes sting?

Only female mosquitoes sting (biting) because they need the proteins from the blood for the development of their eggs.

Male mosquitoes survive with the nectar of flowers. It is not yet known according to which criteria the female mosquitoes find their "blood donors ".

Attractive substances for the mosquito include substances that are emitted by the human body, for example, certain fragments of proteins, vapours of ammonia, lactic acids, carbon dioxide or butter acids.

There is a rumor around that mosquitoes are coming up on a sweaty foot.

Furthermore, the humidity, ambient temperature, the amount of light and the ambient colour also play an important role.
