    Partially correct, mosquitos prefer warm humid environments with stagnant water to lay their eggs this is why they’re so prevalent in rain forests also they suck at flying so if it’s windy outside you won’t be bothered by many. Source: I live in the Midwest so I’m consistently getting molested be mosquitos

      I’m in the swampy part of VA, around where we literally lost colonies to mosquitoes. I’m also a mosquito magnet, where most people don’t even get bit if I’m outside with them, but they’re all over me. It’s great…

      You might want to check that, the cool factor has been measured across several studies as per my links. ;) They have pretty concrete temperature boundaries.
