What does the sound spectrum of a mosquito look like?

Is there life on Mars unknown to science?
The mosquito is such a rare insect that entomologists have not been able to study it?
Okay, I'll try to dig up something about English-speaking mosquitoes.

Look at the printed literature, not electronic smile.gif

It is a shame that with the development of the Internet, many people began to ignore the paper library. Here is one of the works on mosquitoes:

Tamarina N. A., Zhantiev R. D., Fedorova M. V., 1980. Frequency characteristics of flight sounds and Johnstone organs of sympatric mosquitoes of the genus Aedes / / Parasitology, vol. 14, pp. 398-401.

but still.. wink.gif this is an interesting question...knowing this, you can try to simulate signals,learn to control them, as well as other harmful insects..

The question is interesting and has been developed for decades, from biomonitoring to acoustic warfare. See monographs on bioacoustics and articles on acoustic biomonitoring (I posted them on the site).

Thank you..I know this,but as far as I understand, from a linguistic point of view, the praktieski did not deal with this issue...and I respect languages...and philologists at the same time...

Do you mean communicating with insects in their language? They were engaged. We modeled the signals and presented them, identifying specific elements that carry the greatest informative load.

Or a transcript of what they're talking about? There are also works on the repertoire of insects (calling signals, courtship signals, competitive signals, etc.). In fact, I am very interested in this topic and, if you want, you can just discuss it in any form that is convenient for you smile.gif

Great! I have two hobbies — insects and languages...
as far as I know, there are danger simulators for mosquitoes...but their sound spectrum partially coincides with ours, and this sound is perceived by a person...therefore, the invention has not gained much popularity...
what groups of languages are you interested in?

having understood this, it will be possible to control insects..pests, for example...

and as for " understanding."..much is already known to philology..nothing to reinvent the wheel for...
In general, I consider this area promising and important for entomology as a whole.

Yes, that would be great. I read somewhere that their transformer operation is something that scares away (I don't remember exactly what was written there). But I remember about locusts. These insects, like any other "social" ones, are very organized. These guys have a signal to take off. So the scientists decided to model such a device for purely mocking purposes. While the poor things lost all the fat body did not fall blundering to the joy of Oriental cuisine. By the way, this is a very promising direction. Although for me, faunistics, taxonomy and biology in general at the organizational level are more fun. Well, there are no bad professions, just some we prefer to provide for the use of interested parties.

I wonder how well mosquitoes can hear? And more importantly, can l distinguish between sounds? How do they find each other when mating, by sound?
