You’re outside, and suddenly later you see a mosquito bite on your arm.
But wait… when did that happen?
You don’t remember anything poking you.
You didn’t feel it at all.

And how did it poke your skin without you noticing?
And why does the itching only start later?
It turns out the mosquito does something first… before it even starts drinking.
