Mosquito / Insects Bites

how do you tell a female mozzy from a male one ?
Just lift up the tail?
Jokingly: The male is the one with the remote control, the female is the one making all the noise?
Seriously: the male mozzy is a little bigger, and the female mozzy is the one that bites and sucks blood.

From wiki:
Mosquitoes have mouthparts that are adapted for piercing the skin of plants and animals. While males typically feed on nectar and plant juices, the female needs to obtain nutrients from a \"blood meal\" before she can produce eggs.
Female mosquitoes hunt their blood host by detecting carbon dioxide (CO2) from a distance -

II bought this Citronella Body Spray from Perfect Potion for my family. It uses natural ingredients and it's manufactured in Australia. Have been using it for more than 2 years and so far quite happy with the product. Smells nice too. The shop Perfect Potion is located at United Square and Parkway Parade.
Spray all over the body (inc feet) before sleep, wear long PJ pants and get a light/thin blanket to cover the feet if need be. We hardly use air-con for the whole nite, but we do turn on the fans and as mentioned, cover the feet in case the mozzies attack the toes.
There are other brands out there, but so far, I use the Citronella spray as we like it best. It's non sticky too.
Perfect Potion!
It's very good.
A cheaper alternative:
Buy Organic Citronella oil (I buy from http://www.iherb.com)
Using a normal spray bottle, put some water and a few drops of citronella oil. Shake well and spray as desired.
Or, put a few drops of citronella oil at the corners of the bed. -

Not this female. The older I get the less time I wanna hang in front of the mirror. Those 'train-tracks' needs no checking.
Sometimes can't even remember when was the last time I looked at myself :lol:
So your hypothesis is wrong

In our household, when going out of the house, the women wait for the men, who are preening themselves in front of the mirror.
MIL , DD and I are always ready way ahead of time, whilst waiting in the car for FIL, BIL and DH :roll:
