SUMMARY
Mosquitoes are significantly attracted to black-colored objects, such as bags, clothes, and hair, due to the color's ability to absorb and radiate more heat. This phenomenon leads to a higher concentration of mosquitoes around these dark surfaces compared to lighter colors. The discussion highlights the correlation between color and mosquito attraction, emphasizing that black serves as a heat source that draws these insects in. Additionally, while mosquitoes prefer dark areas, they are not exclusively found in such environments, as they also inhabit places like bushes and muddy areas.
