Why do mosquitos tend to avoid biting human faces?

542 views

I know it’s possible that they do but my whole life I’ve been bitten all over the body from mosquitos but hardly ever the face (only one time in 30 years)

I always figured the face would be easiest since it’s exposed the most.

Apparently mosquitos are smart enough to to bite where they can avoid being seen and therefore swatted. I’m sure the sweat has something to do with it too. I get bit on the back of the neck, behind the knees. They rarely bite me where I can see them.
