mosquitoes have parasites which give those
annoying insects great deal of trouble A
number of captive mosquitoes were examined
under microscope and they were all found to
be positively lousy, each having parasites upon
its body which easily to be seen under glass
of low magnifying power. The mosquitoes seem |
to be as lively under their torture as human |
beings are under the sting of the mosquito. 1t |
is quite comfort to know that they too can |
suffer.
