They say, only the female mosquitos bite. According to the chart, they tend to like female humans more than males.

Wonder if therre's a reason why.

Good point, we were talking about this phenomenon today. Females, anecdotally, seem to be bitten much more than males. By the Way, a researcher at North Carolina State University has found a mosquito repellent stronger and more effective than DEET. It is an extract of tomato! ( NCSU, Raleigh,N.C. ; not that communist hotbed called UNC at Chapel Hill).
