Mosquito

Mosquitos are insects that fly around on warm summer nights, making an irritating buzzing noise. They bite the player if they stand around for too long, causing the Player to rub the insect bite. If the Player is fishing, he/she will immediately stop fishing to rub it, pulling in the rod in the process. Mosquitos are very small and hard to spot. They will also chase the player a short distance, but are easy to outrun.

Donating to the Museum
As with all bugs and fish in, the mosquito can be donated to the Museum by talking to Blathers, the curator. Upon donation, he will tell the player a little bit about the donation. Below is what he says in each game:



In Wild World
Despite his objection with the insect, Blathers will still give you a little info on it;

''"I don't begrudge mosquitos the blood, for all creatures must survive, eh wot? But why, oh WHY must their little nibbles itch so much? They're maddening! Hoo... Then again, who am I to question the infinite web of nature, wot wot?" ''The player that is bitten by a mosquitos would likely say "I got bitten by a mosquito! so itchy."

In City Folk
Blathers says this when you donate one:

"...Hoo, yes, are you aware that mosquitos serve as a vital source of information for the academic world? Indeed, many germs live inside of mosquitos and use them to travel across the entire globe. By understanding the living hosts to these germs, scientists may develop new treatments, eh wot?"

It can be found flying near the lone palm tree in the middle terrace of the insect exhibit. It bites the Player when they stand around for too long, with the response;

"Itchy itchy itchy! I got bit by a mosquito..."
