What we hear is what Mosquitoes sing!

A new research finds that mosquitoes actually sing to each other to determine mating match. According to researchers, a female mosquito could use the harmonic matching as a fitness measure while selecting a male.

Scientists hope to use this information to control the population of disease spreading mosquitoes and match the buzz of mating mosquitoes to try and curb disease spread.

What would you do, if you hear them today (14th Feb)? :-)
