Scientists have known for a long time that male mosquitoes are buzzing to find partners for themselves. But the most recent study shows an interesting result: Although the body is a very simple structure, female mosquitoes are among the most audible animals in the insect world. .

Scientists also revealed the process of finding mosquito mates.

When two mosquitoes come together, and they buzz, they will immediately change the cries made by flapping wings to 600 times a second. If two sounds are homologous, the mosquito will know it is its potential object. If the sound is different, it means the mosquito is not suitable, and they will have to find another partner for their intercourse.

Scientists say there are over 3,000 different species of mosquitoes in the world, and each species makes its own sounds. And all the mosquitoes are from this sound to recognize the right partner for you.

The study was conducted by two researchers: Gabriella Gibson of the Institute of Natural Resources - Greenwich University and Ian Russenll of the University of Brussels, published on July 12, 2006.
