I got 4 wrong the first time, but I got them all right when I took it a second time. I am going to try a third time to see if I can get them all right twice in a row.

Missed the dark clothing question, I have to disagree with it. I can were bright clothes and find just as many skeeters.

Mr. T! LOL

80%

I disagree with the clothing thing too, mosquitoes LOVE me, no matter WHAT I'm wearing. Hubby rarely gets bit.

I don't know Becky P what they eat but the way you put it was funny. Maybe there here as a decoy. If you kill a couple and they don't have blood in them they were the male decoy's. LOL Grin

Only the female mosquitoes feed on blood, male mosquitoes feed on plant nectar and juices.

I missed one... 93%.  It was the one where WNV was first reported (NY).  I had no idea.  There have been a few reported cases where I live, and because my young child is real sick right now (can't seem to get the fever below 102), that's the first thing that crossed my mind... WNV!  The skeeters have been thick here for the past few weeks...

I cant believe you guy's didn't know that only the female mosquito bites you and that the males live on pollen . The reason females need blood is to produce the babies . One more thing , if you eat a lot of Banana's , then you will get bit more . It has something to do with the potassium . Rick
