    Why do I hear mosquitoes buzzing when I turn off the lights, and then stop calling when I turn on the lights?

    Why you can't see mosquitoes when you turn on the lights, and you can hear mosquitoes when you turn off the lights, you may not know the answer.

    Because when the light is turned on, the human eye shares part of the five senses, and when the light is turned off, the eyes cannot see clearly, and all the senses are concentrated in the ears, and they are more sensitive to sound.

    Because people's vision is weaker after turning off the lights, their sense of hearing is more sensitive, so they can hear the sound of mosquitoes.

    Because you turn on the light, the mosquitoes are all wandering around where there is light, and when you turn off the light, the mosquitoes will automatically find you and will wander around you, so when you turn off the light, you can hear the mosquitoes.

    Mosquitoes fly in your ears when you sleep, and after turning on the light, you can't find mosquitoes, so it is more likely that mosquitoes are hiding in **.

    First of all, let's talk about the photoapathy of mosquitoes.

    In general, mosquitoes do not like light, that is, mosquitoes generally choose to exist in darker places.

    We know that whether it is the protomosquito we often see, or the new species of flower mosquito now, they all stay in a relatively dark place.

    In particular, the kind of mosquito we have seen before (here it is called the protomosquito) generally rarely comes out during the day, and only appears in places where the sun sets and the light is dark.

    So, at night, when we turn off the lights, mosquitoes will come out.

    Since light has a certain resistance to the propagation of sound, it is found that the sound is relatively small in places where there is light.

    Let's give you a few examples.

    When it rains, the same rain sound is very loud at night, and at night, the sound travels farther. During the day, when there is sunlight, sound travels farther than when there is no sunlight (except when there is haze).

    When the lights are turned on, the sound of mosquitoes flying is not heard due to the hindrance of the light on sound transmission.

    I can't hear the sound of mosquitoes flying, and then look for mosquitoes, mosquitoes are relatively small and we can't see mosquitoes when we are in the light, only when mosquitoes fall, or when mosquitoes are outside and between the lights, we can see mosquitoes.

    That is to say, when we are facing the light, we can only see the mosquito in this space (for example, the light is in the west, and the person is in the east, at this time, the mosquito cannot be seen in the east of the person, and the mosquito can only be seen when the mosquito is active in the west of the person), and the mosquito hates light, so after we turn on the light, the mosquito will go to the place where the light is relatively weak and far away from the light, as mentioned above, the mosquito will go to the east of the person.

    When some mosquitoes see the light, they will find a darker place to stay there and no longer fly, so it is more difficult to find.

    Another important reason is that when mosquitoes are not sucking blood, the body of mosquitoes is relatively small, and it is also translucent, and it is not easy to find when the light shines.

    Only after the mosquito has sucked the blood, because the color of the blood can be seen more easily, so after turning off the light at night, I can hear the mosquito buzzing in my ear, and when I turn on the light, I can't find the mosquito.

    Now in the summer, I also hate the sound of mosquitoes and am more afraid of mosquito bites, so I bought a mosquito net to hang up. But today's mosquito nets can't stop mosquitoes from entering! So I can still hear mosquitoes flying when I turn off the lights at night.

    This sound can easily break me.

    This is because most mosquitoes are particularly afraid of light, and they live by their senses, they generally live in particularly dark places, and do not like particularly bright environments, which will expose their figures.

    Because after turning off the light, the mosquitoes will think that there is no one around, they will fly around with confidence and boldness, and their wings will make a buzzing sound, if after turning on the light, the mosquitoes will feel the light, they will feel the danger, then they will stop flying, and they will hide in a place where there is no one.

    Because when the light is turned off, the mosquito will look for a target next to its food, and when the light is turned on, the mosquito will hide in order not to expose itself.

    Because mosquitoes will identify and avoid danger through smell, mosquitoes have survived on the earth for so long, and have successfully degraded to the point where they can live in harmony with humans, and they are more sensitive and aggressive.

    Mosquitoes have a keen sense of smell, can sense hot objects, and fly to the side of the lamp when the light is on. Turn off the light, it senses the heat of the person again, and runs to the person. Mosquitoes are still heavy animals, like the smell of human earwax, or when you sleep at night, you hear mosquitoes buzzing in your ears, mosquitoes will naturally hover around the head of the human body.

    So I felt the buzzing sound ringing around my ears. The sound we hear from a mosquito is the sound of its wings vibrating and rubbing against each other as it flies, and it is very irritating because it vibrates very fast, reaching more than 600 times per second.

    After being bitten by a mosquito, it will not only swell a large bag, which is very itchy, but sometimes it will be very painful and even pus. Although we use various methods to prevent mosquitoes, they seem to be everywhere. And the most desperate thing is the mosquitoes that burrow into the mosquito net.

    Even if you have a mosquito net, you won't be able to find him for a long time, because I used to do this before! Later, I felt that I should not be despised by the intelligence of mosquitoes, but I am also a high-level animal in the food chain, and I get some wind oil essence at the head and end of the bed every day before going to bed.

    Because mosquitoes like the night, there is a bright light it doesn't like. So you'd better light a mosquito repellent lamp at night so it won't be screaming around people anymore. And if you spray some toilet water on your pillow before you go to bed, it won't be around you.

    It's only a dozen yuan, which is much stronger than other mosquito control equipment. Once you hear a mosquito buzzing, don't turn on the light, take the mosquito swatter and press the switch on the slap, and a slap will result in its death. I hope the above will help you and wish you all a happy summer.

    So mosquitoes are flying around our bodies. The lights were turned off, we were ready to rest and sleep, and the room was quiet, when the mosquitoes flew close to our bodies and always wanted to suck our blood, so we could hear the mosquitoes buzzing. Prioritize the information received by the ear, and many small sounds will be put into a loud pitch.

    Many blind people have good hearing, and that's why. So, with the lights on, even if the mosquitoes are flying right in front of your eyes, you can't hear the sound because the attention is focused on the eyes.

    Because mosquitoes are also nocturnal animals and like to come out at night to feed, they will buzz in the dark, but they will stop calling once the environment becomes bright.

    Because when the light is turned on, mosquitoes will be attracted to the light and surround the lamp. But when the light disappears when the lights are turned off, mosquitoes will keep circling around people, looking for an opportunity to get their mouths.

    A mosquito's call is a sound made when it flies, and if it doesn't fly, it can't hear it. When the lights are turned on, the mosquitoes will find a dark place to hide and no longer fly, so you can't hear the sound. As soon as the lights were turned off, it began to fly again, and the sound came out again.

  16. Anonymous users2024-01-22

    It's because mosquitoes like to live in a dark environment, and as soon as you turn on the light, the mosquito flies to a darker place, so that you can't find it, because mosquitoes also have to protect their lives.

    When you turn on the light, the light will emit heat energy, which interferes with the judgment of the mosquito to a certain extent, so it does not dare to act without permission under the light, and does not fly, so it cannot hear the sound. But when you turn off the light, the heat of the whole room** is only your own body, and the head and neck are the places where the human body is warmer and are still exposed, so mosquitoes fly towards you.

  18. Anonymous users2024-01-20

    Because mosquitoes lose their ability to judge after turning on the light, they don't fly, but they can fly after turning off the light, and their wings will vibrate to a certain extent when flying, so they can hear their voice.

    The main reason is that mosquitoes are afraid of light, and mosquitoes are also disturbed by heat sources, and after turning on the light, mosquitoes will run away immediately.

  20. Anonymous users2024-01-18

    This is because when the mosquito comes into contact with a bright light when the light is turned on, it stops flying and lands on a flat object.

    01 Mosquitoes track and locate people based on the heat emitted by the human body when they attack people. When the lights are off, the biggest source of heat in the house is the human body, and mosquitoes can determine their targets very accurately. When we turn on the light to look for mosquitoes, the heat emitted by the lights will interfere with the mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes will hide, and we will naturally not be able to find the mosquitoes.

    It's hot summer, and the annoying mosquitoes are starting to move! You must have had this experience, when you sleep at night, mosquitoes are always buzzing in your ears, and when you slap it, the mosquitoes will run away, but it won't take long to start hearing this annoying sound again. The worst part is that I turned on the lights but couldn't find mosquitoes!

    So why can't you find mosquitoes when you turn on the lights, but turn off the lights and there is buzzing everywhere?

    In fact, the most fundamental reason is related to the foraging of mosquitoes.

    When mosquitoes attack people, they track and locate people based on the heat emitted by the human body. When the lights are off, the biggest source of heat in the room comes from the human body, and mosquitoes can determine their targets with great precision. But when we turn on the light to look for mosquitoes, the heat emitted by the lights locates the mosquitoes.

    When you interfere with it, the mosquitoes will hide, and we will naturally not hear the mosquitoes, and we will not be able to find the mosquitoes.

    Therefore, you must protect yourself at night, you can hang a small mosquito net to turn out mosquitoes.
