Or is it that the victims pest warning system is currently winning the biological arms race, in which case how are mosquitoes able to successfully reproduce? Or is it that mosquitoes have evolved such that their spawning numbers offset the difficulty they have biting?

Biology is hard.

    This might be an evolutionary war, since it’s plausible, that detecting mosquitos led to less infestations and thereby to a higher survival rate.
