  7. Was hoping this article in the New York Times would be about bats eating mosquitoes but I was wrong. Headline and a single sentence in the article were there to make bats seem like friends (they are, but not because of how many mosquitoes they eat, which is very few). Digital version [follow gift link] has a different headline. #bats #chiroptera #mosquitoes #nyc #newyork #insects #nature #biology #journalism #nytimes nytimes.com/2026/07/18/nyregio

  11. Can #DEET attract #mosquitoes? A lab study offers clues
    Exposing the insects as they feed can turn the repellent into an attractant
    Although DEET has been a “gold standard” in #insectrepellent for decades, it’s still unclear exactly how it works. Lab experiments suggest mosquitoes can smell DEET and learn to associate it with food, but it’s unclear whether that happens in the wild.
