So, have ya'll noticed.

Mosquitoes are easier to grab straight out of the Air, vs smack while landed?

Tp4 posits, given their extremely limited processing power, their maneuverability / awareness is much lower mid-flight, vs landed.

Landed, they sense the incoming air pressure, and they have an evolved trait to engage maximum thrust in a highly successful escape vector.

Even at max human hand speed, the mosquitoes mastered the ability to escape with high probability.


They are however very cumbersome during approach, hover, and descent.   It is during this phase when the hughmahn's overwhelming processing advantage comes in handy.
