Yes, and do you know that most of the times, only the female mosquitoes bite? Well, females in nature are usually aggressive, because their the ones who need more nutrition to support pregnancy and afterwards their children. Thanks for sharing!

Yes. And do you know why the male black widow runs for his life after mating? And what color he is? Interesting spider, isn't it?

The black widow is not aggressive. It will, however, bite instinctively when touched or pressed.

No, I never knew that. Living in Arizona where black widows are pretty common, I would have thought that I would have learned. Thanks for the information!
