unformed 0 #1 November 9, 2005 someone once told me that mosquitos are unable to fly more than twelve feet off the ground, less if they've recently fed ... my question is ... is this true, and if so, why? he said it was due to the density and humidity of the air ... however, that really doesn't make since it's not altitude from sea level, but altitude off the ground, and i can't imagine the difference in humidity/density within a few feet would be that varied ... so then i wonder maybe its a psychological thing ... but i think they have strong enough brains to have psychological problems ... mice on the other hand, of course, but not mosquitos... and now i'm very curious ... anyone here study mosuitos for a living?This ad space for sale.

simplyputsi 0 #3 November 9, 2005 I suppose if they were high enough they wouldn't really care if they were 100 or ten feet off the ground, just as long as there are some funions to be found. Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
