Mosquito starts salivating . . .

It's probing for the right skin crease and blood vessel.

Resist the urge to slap. (I did just that to snap this photo.)

Rather, flick a mosquito that has started feeding because you wouldn't want to push more of their saliva into your skin by slapping them.

Hehe! Great tip! Though I always go for the kill.. since they might come back!

I was glad to leave Malta as these guys were a pain there. Upvoted. 😊

No Kidding? I didn't think there would be many mosquitos in Malta. Learning something every day. 😊

Nice to know. But it will be difficult to resist.

LOL, yes it is.
A good finger flick works pretty good though.
