Yes, mosquitoes do have brains, despite their small size.
While a mosquito's brain is significantly simpler than a human brain, it's complex enough to control essential functions such as:
- Vision: Processing visual information to navigate and locate hosts.
- Movement: Coordinating flight and other movements.
- Taste: Detecting suitable food sources.
- Olfaction (Smell): Sensing scents, including carbon dioxide and other attractants, to find hosts.
- Thermoreception (Heat): Detecting heat signatures from warm-blooded animals.
The mosquito brain allows them to perform all the necessary actions for survival and reproduction.
