#mosquito — Public Fediverse posts

🦟 NEW: Researchers tested how three South #Florida mosquito species, Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, and Culex quinquefasciatus, responded to 119 human volunteers using a device that let #insects approach without biting.

They matched each species to specific #skin odors and bacterial communities. Each #mosquito favored different #microbes, and no single person attracted all three species.

Meet the 2026 #IgNobel Prize winners

It's that time of year again, when we learn which lucky #scientists are among the winners of the Ig Nobel Prizes. This year, the prizes honor research on designing the perfect splash-free #urinal ; using #mosquito #proboscises to "necroprint" tiny nozzles; studying composition rates of buried cotton #underwear and the #aerodynamics of a healthy nose-blow, among other highlights.

#Finland is beautiful. It's also a place that makes you realise you are not the top of the food chain. #mosquito #safeguard

Hydrangeas have started blooming😊

#Iceland Says It Is No Longer #Mosquito Free

Iceland was one of the only mosquito-free places in the world, at least according to its records. Not anymore.

Researchers document mosquito species in Puerto Rico that launches eggs aerially, one at a time, into the pools of water that collect between bracts of a plant. See figure 2. Seriously, see figure 2. So cool. #PuertoRico #mosquito #diptera #culex #oviposition #nature #heliconiaceae https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-15955-0

Every borough, town, and city should have a webpage that discourages residents from subscribing to those frequent (every 2-3 week) insecticide applications from companies like Mosquito Shield, Mosquito Joe, and Mosquito Squad. As an example, here's the blurb from Media, Pennsylvania, the town next to me. #mosquito #mosquitoes #spraying #pollinators #insects #pesticides #government #mediapa #delco #pennsylvania #pyrethroids https://www.mediaborough.com/446/Mosquito-Spray-Drift
