This insect can smell from a distance of 10 to 50 meters.
This idea was tested by the researchers using a black spot on the floor of a wind tunnel.
Once, they visualized the target they will be attracted by the heat of the human body.
They also confirmed that mosquitoes can be drawn to heat from within a meter.
The thermal and heated glass panel that blended in with its surroundings is one of the reasons.
He added This helps ensure that they dont waste their time investigating false targets like rocks and vegetation.
The study has been published in the journal Current Biology.
