I am getting such a kick out of reading your messages I had to join in.  I really do want to know the difference between male and female mosquitos.  We have these giant mosquito looking bugs (they could also be described a daddy long-legs with wings) that I have been told are the male mosquitos.  A lot of people also call them Mosquito-eaters.  Does anyone actually know what these are?[?]

Andy....this is easy......me being the most cleverest scientist here can give you the anwser..... 99.99% of the female mosquitos are the ones wearing dresses and lipstick !!

Glad I could help []

Citronella essential oil is a mosquito deterrent, and has the bonus of a nice lemony flavour.

Ive also heard that taking vitamin B complex tablets will alter your bodies smell (?) and make you less paletable to a mosquito.
