After the beginning of autumn, the weather gradually cooled down and various outdoor activities began to increase. But new troubles have also emerged, with citizens feeling that mosquitoes in autumn are starting to "counterattack" again.
Especially the black mosquito with white patterns on its body, which not only bites fiercely, but also itches and swells after biting, is commonly known as the "poisonous mosquito" or "black mosquito".
Why do mosquitoes bite people harder in autumn?
The commonly known "black mosquito" by citizens, also known as Aedes albopictus, originated in Southeast Asia and later invaded China. It has now become a common mosquito species in China.
Aedes albopictus is not only a highly aggressive mosquito, but also an important viral vector. It can spread many pathogens, including dengue fever, malaria yellow fever, filariasis, as well as Ross River virus and West Nile virus, causing significant harm.
In fact, the early autumn and mid autumn in Binzhou are active periods for mosquitoes every year.
When the temperature is very high, mosquito biting activities will be limited to a certain extent; But the appropriate temperature after autumn makes mosquito biting activity active again. On the other hand, autumn is also the last peak of mosquito reproduction in a year, as they need more blood to meet the nutritional needs of laying eggs and reproducing offspring.
Therefore, after the beginning of autumn, mosquitoes bite people harder and suck more blood.
So, there are also folk sayings such as "on August 8th, mosquitoes bloom at their mouths" and "after autumn, mosquitoes are stronger than tigers" to describe the phenomenon of increased mosquito bites after autumn.
