>         Fact is, only male mosquitos buzz. Females don't. (And no, I
>     don't 

    Complete myth as far as I know (my father was an entomologist and I
    seem to recollect him using that as an example of "don't believe
    everything you read or hear, make sure it's supported by credible
    sources"). See
    http://www.microscopyu.com/galleries/dxm1200/culexsmall.html 

    Sorry I couldn't find a better reference on short notice but it
    wouldn't make sense for a male mosquito to listen for a female's buzz
    if they didn't buzz.  (If you hypothesize that the female's buzz is
    ultrasonic (above 20,000 cycles per second) and therefore humans
    cannot hear it you better be able to back it up with science because
    I don't believe that either.) 

    An inventor send me a Washington Post article the other day that
    stated this "gem": 

    "[such] phenomena arise from matter's spontaneous ability to amplify
    energy by stupendous factors when conditions are right." 

    Complete and utter tripe.
