How correct you are!

. However, smell is not the one sense mosquitoes have; they also have excellent vision as well as the ability to sense heat and humidity

. Studies I read from the University of Florida have found that mosquitoes do not bite indiscriminately. A 300 pound individual wearing a black shirt will attract mosquitoes more so than what smaller individuals would that are wearing brighter colours. Also, those that breathe or sweat a lot will attract more mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can small carbon dioxide in a 70 foot radius!

.
And the females are the biters
