How mosquitoes find us in the dark. How do mosquitoes find a person even a few kilometers away? Mosquito monuments in different cities of the world

Probably, you have often wondered how unmistakably and inexorably mosquitoes overtake a person? How is this mechanism arranged? Why do insects find us, initially being at a great distance from the target?

Mosquito looking for prey:

• From a distance of several kilometers, it captures the smell of sweat, or rather the lactic acid dissolved in it, and amino acids such as lysine, which is contained in the proteins of all vertebrates;
• From a distance of several hundred meters feels the release into the atmosphere carbon dioxide exhaled by a person. The level of CO2 is increased, which means that someone is breathing nearby!
• From a distance of several meters, it reacts to movement and thermal radiation, as well as to light, preferring dimly lit spaces.

Lovelace mosquitoes

It turns out that mosquitoes are "crazy" by the high content of sex hormones in human blood, as well as exquisite perfumes, especially aphrodisiacs. The question is, how do they differ from a person after that? So on a date, your excitement and delicate aroma of perfume will be appreciated not only by your partner, but also by mosquitoes wandering around!

In general, mosquitoes are not averse to biting women, especially during pregnancy: they smell cholesterol, the level of which rises during hormonal changes in the body.

Science to the rescue

Just a few years ago, scientists learned how to effectively trick the tactile and olfactory systems of blood-sucking insects with the creation of an entirely new mosquito repeller.

They found that all the sensory hairs on the mosquito's maxillary organ are connected to three neurons: to detect octenol (a substance that mimics the smell of lactic acid), carbon dioxide, and to generally enhance the sense of smell. These are the mechanisms scientists have adopted in the fight against mosquitoes.

They created a trap that emits small amounts of carbon dioxide and an organic attractant containing octenol, something that can attract mosquitoes from a distance of several kilometers. The body of creation has a rough surface, very similar to human skin, and generates heat, which finally lulls the vigilance of bloodsuckers.

How to kill mosquitoes at home, at night, when you are almost falling asleep and do not want to disturb the household? The situation is very unpleasant, because the mosquito disturbed your sleep, bit painfully, and even the bite itches. And if there are small children in the house, then nighttime bites can be a serious problem, because the child cannot sleep, cries, and in the morning all exposed parts of the body turn out to be swollen and red. This is best if the child does not have allergies. We hope you enjoy our tips on how to properly kill a mosquito.

How to get rid of annoying mosquito?

Those who did not have time to fall asleep in the evening before the buzzing bloodsucker appeared will agree that mosquitoes have become much smarter now. Previously, it was enough to turn on the light sharply and slam him while he drinks blood. Now, in the light, the insect quickly disappears, randomly rushing around the room, it becomes impossible to quickly catch a mosquito.

Today's mosquitoes also enter the room in the dark, flying to the source of elevated temperature, not only through the windows, but also with the help of ventilation. Some "victims" claim that even on the ninth floor, these creatures "climb" in the elevator!

There are ways to find a mosquito in a dark room:

• attract him with light;
• clean with a vacuum cleaner;
• attract with a flashlight;
• become a bait for him;
• kill on the wall;
• catch in a glass.

Each of the options is worthy of attention.

into the light

When it's dark outside, mosquitoes love to fly into the light, so you can turn on the lamp abruptly, see and kill a mosquito at night before it has time to react. The lamp should be used ordinary, not LED or sodium. Act with lightning speed, if there are 1-2 of them in the room, then you can handle them quite well.

A vacuum cleaner

A vacuum cleaner is also useful in such cases. It's one thing that you won't be able to quickly get it out of the pantry at night. But, if you are still awake, then just turn on the vacuum cleaner and pull the insect inside, in this way you can easily catch a mosquito on the ceiling, high on the wall or behind the cabinet.

Torch

A flashlight near the bed in the summer is also useful. To do this, you need to leave some part of the body open, direct a lantern at it. One hand must be free to strike. We sharply turn on the lantern, direct it to the part of the body that serves as a bait, when the bloodsucker sat down, we kill with a sharp movement. Perhaps this method of catching a mosquito at night is more effective than with the lights on.

Bait

You can also become a bait yourself. Release one hand to clap, wait for the mosquito to land on you, and slam.

Cup

For proboscis

Some craftsmen argue that if you sharply stretch the skin in the place where the mosquito gnaws, it will turn out to be “caught by the nose”, will not be able to escape and will burst from the pressure of the drunk blood. This method requires great skill and experience.

We hope that our tips on how to catch a mosquito in a room will be useful to you.

Origin of the word "mosquitoes""

There are several versions:

1. The word "mosquitoes" comes from Sanskrit "kamaari", which means "enemies of the god of love Kama", a young Cupid who liked to sit naked in the bushes, with a bow and arrows in his hands.

2. If divided given word thus: ko-k'> mar-mar. Then KO - Kb in this word has the same meaning as WHO, MAR - MAR - is the noun "mara" - "fog, darkness, darkness." Whereas fog, or rather a damp and humid environment, favorite place habitat of mosquitoes, it turns out that a mosquito is one who lives in a humid environment, or rather mosquitoes lay their eggs there and raise their offspring ...

3. According to the third version - KЪ MAR - ko mare, that is, the one who is with Mary, the servant of the goddess Marana - the supplier of blood.

How mosquitoes reproduce and what is the role of the male

Probably, many have observed the swarming of mosquitoes in nature. In warm quiet summer evenings, before sunset, somewhere near the reservoir, near the crown of trees or paths in the meadow, many watched mosquitoes swarming. The literature describes swarms reaching a width of 1-5 m and a height of 7 m.

The swarm consists of only males, while mating occurs at the moment when the female is near the swarm, moreover, it is the male who searches for the female, and not vice versa. This type of mating is known as eurygamy and requires a lot of space and involves swarming. Eurygamy (mating during swarming) is characteristic of many species of mosquitoes. The behavior of the urban mosquito is completely different: the meeting of the sexes and their mating can occur without swarming, which becomes possible in small cages and even in a test tube. This type of mating is called stenogamy (mating without swarming). This feature of the urban mosquito's reproductive behavior allows it to breed successfully in basements, which are often limited in size.

Clusters consist of a huge number of mosquitoes - tens or even hundreds of thousands. Mosquitoes jostle in place and make a ringing that attracts females. Mosquito wings make such a sound only when they vibrate at a frequency of more than 594 strokes per second. When sitting, these mosquitoes twitch their legs. These are call mosquitoes. The mouth apparatus of bells is not developed, they do not feed and live 3-7 days.

A mature male mosquito, to detect a female, uses its antennae-antennae, which serve as organs of hearing for it. These antennas have their own special functions. At their ends there are thin hairs that are highly sensitive to the sounds made by the female.

In addition, the male has special appendages near the genitals that help him keep the female during mating in the air.
The female flying into the swarm is fertilized by the one who manages to grab her first. Mating lasts a short time, and the male mosquito returns to his group. And already from this moment (the moment of fertilization), the female mosquito needs blood for the development of eggs.

The internal genital organs are hidden in the body of the mosquito. In females, these are the ovaries; in males, the testes. The external genital organs of male mosquitoes have a complex structure. The identification of many species of mosquitoes is only possible due to differences in the structure of the male genitalia. The ovipositor in female mosquitoes looks like a short tube. Fertilization in mosquitoes is internal, that is, sperm during intercourse enters the female genital tract (external fertilization, for example, in fish - they pour caviar with milk).

mosquito life cycle

Mosquitoes go through 4 stages during their life: egg > larva > pupa > adult.

After mating, the female mosquito searches for a living object and drinks blood. After that, the blood begins to be digested and at the same time the maturation of the eggs occurs. When the time comes, the female lays her eggs. Any smallest puddle, hole, ditch or depression filled with water can serve as a place for laying eggs; mosquitoes willingly lay their eggs in open barrels, basins, troughs and other containers with water. Moreover, mosquitoes find any water bodies, focusing on air humidity.

Females can lay eggs two ways:
* one egg separately,
* whole "packs" of eggs glued together.
In one visit, the female can lay about 120-150 eggs.

The duration of egg development depends on the water temperature and usually ranges from 40 hours to 8 days. Thus, after a few days, sufficiently mobile cells are hatched from the eggs. larvae 1-2 mm in size, their body consists of a head, chest and abdomen. The larvae feed on small organisms living in the water, eating them from the surface of plants and various objects. And they grow very fast.

mosquito larva	Finding larvae in a small pond is very simple. In the normal state, mosquito larvae "dangle" upside down under the surface of the water. But if they are frightened or if excitement appears on the water, the larvae immediately “break away” and go into the depths with characteristic zigzag movements. After a short time, the larva will certainly float to the surface of the water: the air supply in its body requires constant refreshment. Hanging near the surface of the water, the larvae absorb it through a special breathing tube with a water-repellent tip. The larvae of mosquitoes - bells are known as bloodworms and serve as an important food for fish.
Bloodworm (Chironomidas siu Teudipedae ​​mosquito larva) of red color	In the state of the larva, the mosquito molts 4 times, after the 4th molt it turns into a chrysalis. The body of the pupa is curved like a comma and consists of a wider cephalothorax and a tapering bent abdomen. The pupa can move, swims very well, faster than the larva, with the help of vigorous movements of the abdomen. If nothing frightens the chrysalis, it remains for a long time under the very surface of the water, putting out small horns - breathing tubes. A disturbed chrysalis can quickly sink to a depth. The chrysalis has a peculiarity, it can only be at a depth in motion, otherwise it floats to the surface, like a cork, since it is lighter than water. At the end of the "pupa" phase, it changes color: from light brown it becomes almost black.
mosquito chrysalis	The duration of development of the larva and pupa is affected by the water temperature and the characteristics of this species. A very complex process takes place inside the pupa for 2.5 - 4.5 days, as a result of which an adult mosquito is ready to fly (imago). Upon completion of this process, the skin on the back of the pupa bursts, and through the gap that appears, first the head is released, then the chest of the mosquito, and finally the wings and limbs. After a few minutes, he flies to the coastal vegetation. Males always appear first. They gather to breeding grounds and form swarms, waiting for their "brides". In fertilized females, the instinct of bloodsucking awakens. A hungry fertilized female can "smell" people and animals at a distance of up to 2-3 km. In one sucking run, a female mosquito can drink blood, more than its initial weight. After laying eggs, the female becomes aggressive again, again looking for prey, and the cycle repeats.

Having re-satisfied with blood, interest in food disappears until the maturation and laying of the next batch of eggs. After each laying of eggs, a significant part of the mosquitoes dies.

The life expectancy of a female is usually 2-3 weeks, but can reach 114-119 days, as it is directly dependent on air temperature and the availability of food. The life expectancy of males is much shorter.

The process of development of a mosquito from laying eggs to an adult lasts 15-60 days and also depends on the ambient temperature.

Over the summer (warm period of time, different in different places) in the middle latitudes, 3-4 generations of mosquitoes grow, in the southern regions - 6-8. Mosquitoes go for wintering in the imago phase (fertilized females), larvae - winter in more or less warm places: caves, tree hollows, burrows, basements, residential apartments, stairwells.

By the way, recent observations show that poor living conditions only increase the growth of mosquito populations and life expectancy. Adaptability and changes that have occurred since basement mosquitoes no longer fit within the usual scientific framework. Several key signs in their lifestyle have changed:
- urban basement mosquito gained the ability to live and breed in dirty water;
- for the mating process, mosquitoes no longer have to form a swarm - they have adapted to a limited space;
- female mosquitoes have acquired the ability to lay eggs without being saturated with blood. The mosquito, after the pupal stage, can produce viable offspring.

Why do mosquitoes bite?

Mosquitoes bite to breed (reproduce eggs). Mosquitoes require blood to lay their eggs, so the egg laying cycle is directly related to blood consumption. From this it becomes obvious that only mosquito females need blood, while males are indifferent to it. Just one drop of blood gives life to hundreds of mosquito eggs.

But in fact, not all mosquitoes suck the blood of animals and people. Some of them feed on plant juices, nectar, and the mosquitoes mentioned above do not feed on bells at all.

Who bites?

Only female mosquitoes bite. All males (without exception) known species mosquitoes feed exclusively on plant foods (nectar and pollen of flowers) and do not trade by sucking blood, but they also itch disgustingly. Thus, they do not consume proteins (which are found in the blood), but live exclusively on carbohydrates. But females, if there is nowhere to take blood, they temporarily become vegetarians, however, in this case they can no longer lay eggs.

Who is squeaking?

When the mating period begins, “mosquitoes” call “mosquitoes” with a characteristic very high-pitched sound, reminiscent of an ordinary squeak, which is emitted with the help of wings. Mosquitoes pick up sound vibrations with their antennae. Female mosquitoes squeak a little thinner than males, and young mosquitoes do not squeak as much as older ones. And males recognize these differences and choose more mature females. In general, whoever squeaks better gets a cavalier.

How mosquitoes find their prey and even at night?

Special sensors on the antennae, which are very sensitive, help the female blood-sucking mosquito find a suitable victim.
- to the usual thermal radiation emanating from a living being. Mosquitoes see heat radiation. And open areas human bodies are warmer and mosquitoes feel it.
- to the products of human or animal metabolism: carbon dioxide and certain acids, such as uric acid, lactic acid.
The smell of lactic acid contained in sweat can be smelled by mosquitoes for 3 kilometers. But even if you decide to outwit the villains by using perfume, and even more so if musk is present in its composition, this is tantamount to waving a poster and shouting: "rush in, I'm the sweetest." Tip: do not use cosmetics with a very strong smell: perfume, hairspray, deodorant, soap, lipstick.

Who is being bitten?

Mosquitoes are actually gourmets, most of all mosquitoes like:
- blood in people with the first and second blood groups;
- blood in children (due to delicate thin skin);
- female blood. Moreover, among women, they prefer those who have begun dangerous days for conception - 13 - 18 days of the cycle, and pregnant women. This is due to the fact that insects smell the "smell" of cholesterol, the level of which in women increases during hormonal changes.
- the blood of obese people, heart patients with atherosclerosis.
There is also some comforting news. In all likelihood, mosquito bite marks will soon be equated with evidence passionate love- suck. In England, biologists have determined that more temperamental people are several times more likely to be attacked by mosquitoes - bloodsuckers than sexually cold ones. High level the content of sex hormones in human blood (testosterone - in men, in women - estrogen) increase the attractiveness of the victim in the eyes of a mosquito.

mosquito flight speed

A typical mosquito flight speed is 3.2 km/h.

Flight duration The mosquito is highly dependent on the species and can range from a few hundred meters to 100 km (using air jets). The mosquito belongs to the group of insects considered good fliers.

How do mosquitoes hibernate?

Mosquitoes are able to endure winter at any of the stages of their development: in the form of a larva, pupa, adult. Mosquito eggs can remain viable for a long time, and even if the humid environment in which they were laid is overtaken by drought, the larvae will hatch from them as soon as the environment around becomes wet, at least after 2-3 years.
Mosquitoes can winter both in natural shelters (in tree hollows, under bark, animal burrows, in dry grass, caves and cracks, etc.), and in man-made shelters (cellars, vegetable stores, unheated outbuildings and basements) . Most mosquitoes do not feed on blood in winter.

What are mosquitoes for?

Mosquitoes seem to be specially created only to annoy us. And when it became known that they are responsible for the transmission of a huge number of diseases, the mosquito began to seem like a real curse.
Meanwhile, mosquitoes are a necessary component of natural balance, and no matter how you scold them, we would regret their disappearance even more bitterly. The fact is that tiny mosquitoes are links more major system, biocenosis. And here everything matters: the atmosphere, and the water regime, and the soil, and microorganisms, and animals. It is necessary to exclude one of the links, and all subsequent ones will suffer, the balance in nature will be disturbed. For example, in the Arctic, where most northern birds nest in the short, cold summers, mosquito larvae are often the only source of food for them.
But even those mosquitoes and larvae that managed not to become food for birds or fish will still not live in vain. Myriads of insects carry tons of chemical elements: carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, iron, manganese, molybdenum, boron - which are so necessary for plants. It is believed that mosquito clouds are sometimes the only biological transport for some trace elements, without which both blades of grass and mighty trees lose their strength.

By transmitting infections, mosquitoes serve as an important stabilizer of ecosystems, as they regulate the size of animal populations, like predators.

Mosquito monuments in different cities of the world

With the onset of warm summer days, we try to spend more time on fresh air, leaving for picnics in the forest, on a personal plot or cottage. Everyone likes this holiday: the beauty of nature, swimming in ponds, the process of picking berries and mushrooms, but the only fact that can overshadow this idyll is annoying squeaking and mosquito bites. The activity of unpleasant bloodsuckers and the ability to find a victim is sometimes surprising!

What do insects like?

Even with the advent of absolute darkness, they do not stop their activity. Nature endowed the mosquito with a thermal and chemical analyzer, with the help of which the insect senses the presence of carbon dioxide, lactic acid, contained in sweat. Moreover, the smell of carbon dioxide can be heard at a great distance, and lactic acid can be smelled for a kilometer or more.

It turns out that nature has created several thousand species of mosquitoes, and each of them prefers a certain type of victim: some like to feast on the blood of birds, others prefer to hunt people, others look for prey among animals, etc. There are male and female mosquitoes, and only mosquitoes suck blood.

While on vacation or in a city apartment, many people ask themselves questions: “Which mosquitoes will fly faster to: light or heat? Can the switched off light save from these bloodsuckers?

It has been noticed that female mosquitoes love light, so we often see how they tend to get from darkness or twilight to a lighted place. It turns out that they even like the night twilight more than the sultry sunlight. And if the air temperature reaches more than 27 degrees Celsius, then the mosquito dies.

Using the heat receptor, the mosquito searches for open areas of the human body in order to get as close as possible to the food source. By the way, sometimes you can observe that mosquitoes stick around a warm object (for example, a heating pad) and try to stick their nose into it.

The ideal option for room lighting or suburban area in summer time are LED lamps and lanterns. Firstly, they are cost-effective, and secondly, they do not heat up and do not emit heat, which means they do not attract mosquitoes.

What do mosquitoes fly to, and how to cool their impulse? Experts have done a lot of research and identified the main factors that attract mosquitoes:

1. Blood type and Rh factor. Of course, it would be ridiculous to claim that the insect knows about this concept, but researchers have confidently asserted that the mosquito determines the blood type by smell (genetically laid down). The mosquito loves the first blood group, less actively sit on the victim with the third and fourth blood group, but he likes the person with the second group the least.
2. Carbon dioxide. It turns out that the more concentrated carbon dioxide, the better for the mosquito. That is why he mostly sits on large, adult people.
3. Sweat. Due to the fact that mosquitoes are attracted to the smell of lactic acid, ammonia, uric acid, which are part of sweat, they often hunt for a working person, a person who sweats heavily. If a person just got out of the shower, he becomes completely uninteresting to the mosquito.
4. Beer. An interesting proven fact is that beer drinkers are the favorites of mosquitoes. Why? The reason for this is believed to be: ethanol released through the skin and elevated body temperature.
5. Color spectrum clothes. According to statistics, bloodsuckers are attracted to black, red and dark blue clothing. Why this is so is not known, but the fact is the fact.
6. Bacteria that accumulate on the surface of human skin. Moreover, there are a number of bacteria that attract the insect, and there are those that repel.
7. Pregnancy. Experts noticed the attraction to pregnant women by observing the malarial mosquito, and then analyzed the behavior of many other species and confirmed this fact. The reason why women in an interesting position have become favorites harmful insects is body temperature (higher than ordinary person), and more carbon dioxide they exhale.

By the way, there is a funny fact that there are a number of people who are not interested in mosquitoes at all. These are the lucky ones whose body from birth is able to secrete a natural substance - a repellent that mosquitoes do not tolerate.

How to protect yourself?

If you are not so lucky, then it is advisable to stock up on mosquito bites. We will not list the mass of modern drugs and devices sold in pharmacies and specialty outlets, but will focus on the simplest and absolutely harmless mosquito repellents:

• a mixture of eucalyptus and lemon aroma oil (1 jar of oil + juice from two lemons) apply to exposed areas of the body, and you are protected;
• natural cinnamon. It is enough to rub it on the skin or add it to toilet water;
• garlic. Daily consumption of this product will greatly reduce the risk of being bitten;
• vanillin or vanilla sugar amazingly repels insects;
• fan. Just position yourself near a running fan and you won't be afraid of any mosquito.

Summer is not only the season of holidays and vacations, picnics and barbecues, but also, the annoying squeak of which interferes with proper rest and sleep. No less suffering is brought by the bites of annoying insects. Often they are accompanied by severe itching. Moreover, it often happens that being in the same company, not all of its participants suffer from the attack of bloodsuckers. Therefore, in order not to become a victim of insatiable bloodsuckers, it will not be superfluous to know what mosquitoes fly to or what attracts their attention.

How mosquitoes find a person

The activity of unpleasant bloodsuckers and their ability to find a victim surprises many. Even being in absolute darkness, mosquitoes do not stop their activity. Therefore, the question of how mosquitoes see is one of the most frequently asked.

On a note!

Insects "see in the dark" thanks to the thermal and chemical analyzer that nature has awarded them. With their help, mosquitoes smell the lactic acid contained in the sweat and the presence of carbon dioxide that a person exhales.

Attracts the attention of insects and a lamp burning in the room. However, only mosquito females fly into the light. Their attention is drawn to the heat emanating from the light source. It is on him that the mosquito is guided during the flight, whether it is daylight or darkness.

Using the heat receptor, mosquitoes also look for bare areas of the human body, trying to get as close as possible to the food source. However, bloodsuckers are often deceived by sticking around warm objects in anticipation of a meal (the photo of how mosquitoes see is presented below).

What attracts insects

After conducting numerous studies, experts were able to determine that the attention of mosquitoes is attracted by the presence of the following factors.

The smell of blood

For many, this will seem absurd, but bloodsuckers find the victim by the smell of blood, genetically laid down, which makes you wonder. It is assumed that they give preference exclusively to people with 1 blood group. They are more indifferent to a person with 3 or 4 blood groups. Blood of the 2nd group is not at all to the taste of vampires.

On a note!

Human hunting is carried out exclusively by female mosquitoes. For breeding, as it contains proteins and enzymes. Males are absolutely indifferent to blood. They feed exclusively on plant foods, using nectar and plant sap. Females can also be vegetarians, but they will not be able to lay eggs during this period.

thermal radiation

To find a suitable prey for a female blood-sucking mosquito, special very sensitive sensors located on the antennae help. They are very responsive to thermal radiation that comes from a person or other warm-blooded creature. And especially bloodsuckers feel bare areas of the body.

Carbon dioxide concentration

Attracts the attention of bloodsuckers and carbon dioxide. Insects can feel it from the breath of a person at a distance of several tens of meters.

On a note!

Moreover, the greater the concentration of carbon dioxide, the greater the appetite of the insect producing its victim. Its largest volume is reproduced by overweight people.

Smell of sweat

Another factor that attracts the attention of blood-sucking insects is sweat. Therefore, they often choose an actively working person as a victim. To be more precise, bloodsuckers fly to the smell of ammonia, lactic and uric acid, which are part of human sweat.

Perfume will not help in this case, especially if musk is present in its composition. Indeed, for insects, this aroma is very attractive. So don't the best option use cosmetics with a strong smell, whether it be perfume, deodorant or hairspray. But a person who has just taken a shower will not cause any interest in bloodsuckers.

bacteria on the skin

Mosquitoes are also interested in specific types of bacteria present on the surface of the skin. Places in which there is an excessive amount of them (usually the ankles and wrists) are attacked by insects much more often. Therefore, to avoid, you must regularly shower with antibacterial soap.

The smell of beer

Another one was found by scientists. Mosquitoes are no less attracted by the smell of beer, or rather the people who drink it. This addiction is explained by the ethanol released through the skin and the elevated body temperature, which is usually observed among drinkers.

gender

The most common victims of mosquitoes are children and girls. Explained given fact they have thinner skin, which is much easier for insects to bite through than the skin of a male.

On a note!

According to a number of studies, experts have found that mosquitoes are of particular interest to women during pregnancy. It turned out that the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled by them is almost 20% more. In addition, pregnant women have a slightly elevated body temperature.

No less attention of bloodsuckers is attracted by women during the period of ovulation. The reason for this is the smell of cholesterol, the level of which in women increases during hormonal changes. It is to him that mosquitoes react.

The color of things

The color of clothing can also attract the attention of insects. According to statistics, bloodsuckers are especially not indifferent to black and blue tones, and red also attracts insects. They are neutral to gray. Less attractive are yellow, green, and khaki.

Interesting!

Attacks of annoying insects are not subjected to those people in whose body from birth there is a special repellent repelling bloodsuckers.

Mosquito attractants

A lot of

Many craftsmen make using plastic bottles or paper impregnated with a mixture of rosin, linseed oil and honey. Safety and availability are the main advantages of such devices.
