That wasn't my experience! I never get bit by mosquitos as there are very few here due to the lack of humidity and altitude. I was at my morning coffee spot and was being pestered by them which I found odd until my Spanish teacher explained that they had just released millions of them in the neighborhood. The next day I woke up with 4 bites. I'm not disagreeing that males don't bite (thanks for the science lesson) but the release of the males led me to being bit when I normally never am.
