The #sound of a #mosquito #swarm in the field with its #biophony https://sonotheque.mnhn.fr/sounds/mnhn/so/2023-3256 and of the entire swarm formation/decline in the lab https://sonotheque.mnhn.fr/sounds/mnhn/so/2023-3255.

A mosquito swarm is composed of 1 to thousands of males #flying in loops next to a visual marker, waiting for the #flighttone of an incoming female. The recorded species swarms at dusk till they can't see the marker anymore (field) or till they get tired (lab).
