Mosquitoes see using two compound eyes located on each side of their head. These eyes are made up of hundreds of tiny lenses called ommatidia, which give them a wide field of vision, allowing them to see from many directions at once. Each ommatidia captures a small portion of the visual field, and the mosquito's brain combines these images to create a complete picture.
Mosquitoes can see shades of black and white, as well as movement, but their color vision is limited. They are particularly attracted to the color red and ignore colors like green, purple, blue, and white. This explains why mosquitoes are often drawn to red clothing.
In addition to their eyes, mosquitoes also use other sensory organs to find their prey. They are attracted to carbon dioxide and heat, which are both produced by humans. This explains why mosquitoes are more likely to bite people who are sweating or breathing heavily.
