Mosquitoes unfazed by rain but grounded by fog

Read full article: Mosquitoes unfazed by rain but grounded by fog

It turns out mosquitoes have a remarkable ability to fly not just in clear skies but also in the rain. Mosquitoes are grounded when the fog thickens, according to researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Fog particles surround the mosquito continuously as it flies through an inescapable fog cloud. Researchers used high-speed videography to observe how heavy fog undermines mosquitoes' primary flight control mechanism. They lead to flight failure when tiny fog particles surround the insect.
