Are Mosquitoes Attracted to the Color Black?

[siddharth]

In my house, I have noticed that substantially more mosquitoes are found on or near black coloured objects(like bags, clothes, hair etc) when compared to objects of other colors.
Has anyone else noticed such a thing?
I think that this is because black absorbs and radiates more heat and the mosquitoes tend to gather around for the heat.

Are you more likely to notice a tiny object in front of a dark background, or a light-colored background? That could be a large "factor".

True, mosquitos like dark areas but in a bush or in stinky muds, I am afraid they don't.
