It's not the color, it's the fabric softener or perfume your wearing. They are looking for nectar.

That's basically fly crap. they lay their eggs on organic material so the maggots can eat off, so unless there's raw meat on your wall you shouldn't have a problem.

they catch flying insects, a major source of their sustenance.

Flies avoid being hit by raindrops, not by dodging them, but by the drop of rain creating a tiny pressure wave ahead (below the raindrop).  This wave pushes the fly sideways and the drop of water misses it.\n\nIncidentally, this is also why fly swatters have holes in the surface, i.e. to reduce the pressure wave - otherwise, flies would escape most efforts to swat them.

Probably the weather, when it gets too cold or too hot they come on in and join the group- pesty little things. I would call someone to come spray around the outside of your house, if there are a lot.

Mosquitoes are attracted to the heat, humidity, and carbon dioxide that mammals emit. When they bite, some of their saliva is absorbed into the bite. Our body reacts to the "infection" and creates the bump and itch.  Calamine lotion is the best defense. Place it on the bump and it absorbs to relieve the itch.

They might be a type of millipede. I've heard olf them infesting damp areas. If the curl up into balls when you poke them, they probably are.

Very minute claws on the feet that allow them to grip. Some insects actually have a sticky substance on their feet that allows them to stick to surfaces.

It's all part of the wearing you down..till you collapse in a state of exhaustion..and the victorious fly will proceed to inject it's maggot eggs into your hide.\nIt's all perfectly normal, natural and wet.

Although many people link this behaviour to the theory that monkeys have lots of ticks and lice on their bodies and need constant grooming, the fact is that it is a misconception!\n\nYup, monkeys do have ticks and lice (just like other animals) and they do keep scratching "themselves" because of those tiny devils BUT, they scratch "others' heads" for a different reason.\n\nAs you know monkeys are very active and agile, and they keep jumping here and there all day. Due to this over-activity, they sweat a lot and the salt particles from their sweat get deposited on their bodies (mostly the head and the back).\n\nNow, monkeys find the salt particles of the sweat very delicious and crisp. That's why they pick the particles from the heads of other monkeys and put them in their mouths to taste them (as you might have observed).\n\nSo, you now know that the monkey is having a delectable snack when it is scratching other monky's head. Right?

Mosquitoes, and all insects, are like cold blooded animals even though they do not actually have blood. They are usually whatever temperature the surrounding air is. At lower temperatures, insects will become inactive because they can no longer use their legs or wings. This is why if you go for an early morning walk when it's still chilly but the sun is up, you'll see bees "waiting" inside flowers, as if they're dead, and you'll see flies and dragonflies sitting on stems and rocks motionless as they absorb heat from the sun so that they can move quickly again. It's actually quite funny to watch since they are moving so sluggishly!

It's simply because two negatives repel. But if they are moving in different direction then too they will repel if they are close enough, but it would be hard to notice as they would already be moving away.

depending on where you  live there might be a ton of mosquitos or that you ate a banana .. they are attracted to people who have just eaten a banana

It's static electricity. They do have some sprays as well that you can spray on your clothes to control static electricity in your clothes. It might help. Moisture in the air will also help.

You get them from GIRLS.  They're icky things that crawl all over you!  The only thing you can do for them is shriek and brush them off vigorously.
