I found a mosquito in our house a few days ago, and that reminded me of 
the situation in the summer when a whining mosquito keeps you awake at 
night.

The following question came to mind: She was very unlikely to attract a 
mate at this time of year. If she remained un-mated, would she be 
interested in a blood meal, or does that only happen after the females 
have mated? Would she have kept us awake at night if no male came along?
