  Sweat and carbon dioxide given off by the skin and from breathing are among the best known mosquito magnets, said Butler, who has long studied which odors and substances attract mosquitoes.
  
  Mosquitoes often target larger people, who tend to give off more carbon dioxide, he said.And alcohol is another lure, 'so people who have been drinking are going to be more attractive' to the bugs, he said.
  
  Alcohol in lotions and perfumes also attracts mosquitoes, as do some cosmetic fragrances including lavender, Butler said.Also, he said, there's evidence that people with very high cholesterol levels often are mosquito magnets.Butler said mosquitoes need fats like cholesterol but can't make them so get them by feeding on others.

  Jerry Butler , an entomologist at the University of Florida , once got a male Hybomitra to chase a plastic pellet fired from an air rifle.Which it caught in midair and dropped , Butler says.From the speed of the pellet , he calculated the fly was going at least 90 miles per hour.
  
  Scientists are far from fully understanding such biomechanical marvels , but in the past few years they have made an excellent start.For one thing , they now have a plausible story for how insect flight evolved.And if they can't quite say how a bug manages to catch a speeding bullet , they at least have an aerodynamic explanation for why it can stay aloft.In both cases , the key insight is this : Insects are not like airplanes.
  
  If an aeronautical engineer had been in charge of the evolution of flying insects , he would have gotten them started with the simplest form of flight : gliding.

  The use of Geraniol as a Fire Ant Repellent was discovered, researched, and patented by Dr. Jerry Butler, Professor Emeritus, University of Florida Department of Entomology. Dr. Butler stated that his research has shown geraniol "to be an effective repellent on a number of insect species, including fire ants, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and horn flies".
