I dunno 'bout you but I don't relish the thought of eating blood-engorged skeeters trapped in my sandwich.

Not that mosquitos are likely to get into anyone's sandwich, but..

why not?

Mosquito flesh itself is rich in protein, and the undigested blood they suck from you, and from other animals, is also rich in protein.

If there were someway that you could attract the mosquitos of your neighborhood swamp to a single point - so you could kill them en masse, you could then grind them up by the hundredweight and make them into hot dogs, or something like fish sticks!

Lobsters are considered a delicacy. Whats a lobster, but an oversized bug that lives in the sea? Crustaceans are related to insects.

And if mosquito can feed off of us whats wrong with us getting revenge and turning the tables on them?

Spiders aren't insects. There is a least one kind of aquatic spider, but the one I know lives in fresh water. But you don't have to eat it.

you didn't turn me off of any food, i turned myself off of crabs/lobsters/shrimp as they reminded me too much of insects, the thought of eating an insect is more than i can bear right now. i still love smoked salmon

I voted for 'vacuum cleaner'. It's a bit academic really, as I haven't used one of these devices in my entire adult life.
