There is no evidence that mosquitoes feed in its presence in the real world

The entire point of lab work is that it mimics the real world because it can never be known it is not happening in the real world and the lab work implies mosquitoes do feed in its presence and having fed are more likely to subsequently re-feed.

The entire point is that you have no substantive reply and your supercilious argument collapsed under even light scrutiny but you do have two profiles to downvote people that might present alternative views. I think maybe you are a mosquito.
