Why do mosquitoes circle over your heads?
Mosquitoes and other kinds of flies may circle around one's head for many reasons. If it is a female mosquito, she may be homing in upon you because you exhale and exude carbon dioxide and other substances that she finds attractive. Better that she circles than lands and bites you. Remember the old adage: Barking dogs never bite, except when they stop barking.
Ah, but there are other possibilities. It may be that the mosquito is a male. Male mosquitoes cannot bite. They can, for reasons that are not obvious, detect and respond to changing carbon dioxide concentrations. But that's less likely the explanation. Instead, male mosquitoes (and males of certain other kinds of flies) often form 'mating swarms'. They select a prominent (to them) feature of the landscape, be it a tall tree, a boulder or a person, then flit above it. Usually, that object is inanimate and the swarm fixed in location. Other times, such as when the swarm forms above the head of an animal, it may move in concert with the animal.
Sometimes these swarms may contain dozens or many thousands of males. A female that encounters such a male swarm is then almost certainly to be seized and impregnated by the most robust, clever or lucky male present.
Not all mosquitoes, of course, perform this aerial dance or do so around an animal's head. Other kinds might be more inclined to focus on the ankles or other exposed areas. These won't sing in your ears.
For many folks, it matters not whether the swarm about the head is composed of male mosquitoes, female mosquitoes or yet other flies. But, it can be an interesting endeavor to capture a few and learn of their identity. If nothing else, it can be nice to have one's own fan club, if even for a short time.
Are private parts of a mother exposed to the doctors during C-section?
What happens if you eat a banana on an empty stomach in the morning?
What was something small you went to the doctor for that turned out to be very significant?
