Science is abuzz with new mosquito identification app!

These days, there is an app for everything.  In times past, you might have photographed a mosquito to identify it.  Scientists are readying a new identification app, which doesn’t require you phone camera.  It uses your phone’s microphone. Ingenuity has delivered a crowd-sourced method of mosquito identification, which can help determine the type of mosquitoes that are in your backyard.  Over the years, mosquito studies have proved costly and time-consuming.  Scientists usually trap and study mosquito species.  A phone app is about to be released, which will allow us to help identify the types of mosquitoes we have flying around your home, by sound.
