Chapter 26, Problem 1AC
Summary Introduction
To design:
A mosquito trap or killer that uses the innate behavior of both the mosquito and moth trap.

The high-pitched whine of female mosquito attracts male mosquitoes and the only blood-sucking sex in mosquitoes is female which are attracted to humidity, carbon dioxide, and warmth released by the prey. This is the innate behavior of both the male and female mosquitoes which can be used to design a mosquito trap.
