Bloodsucker Memes

The ultimate blood-sucking soprano! Female mosquitoes don't just whine in your ear at 3 AM—they're actually hitting the high C note while hunting for their next meal. That annoying buzz (ranging from 350-500 Hz) is the sound of their wings beating, which varies by species and sex. Evolution's cruel joke is that the more irritating the pitch, the more efficient the predator. Next time you hear that high-pitched drone, you're not imagining things—it really IS getting closer to your exposed ankle.
