MOSQUITOS
Have you ever been in this situation: It's a hot humid night and you are having a hard time getting to sleep. You are moving your pillow around trying to find the "cool spot." You finally get comfortable, and then you hear that familiar "Bzzzzzzzzt." Yes, there is a mosquito flying around your head. You jump up and begin to swat around trying to knock it out of the air. . . What is the point of this little story. What you evidently didn't know is that the female mosquito is the one that bites and the male mosquito is the one that makes the buzzing sound. So next time you are having trouble sleeping and you just get comfortable, listen closely and if you hear a "Bzzzzzzzzt" just go to sleep. But if you hear nothing you'd better get up and start swatting.
