Just the other day..

a colleague of mine sent me this photograph of a restaurant in Spain. Restoran Nyamuk? How would you like your mosquito… fried, grilled or raw – sushi style?
Did you know that…
  • The word "mosquito" is Spanish for "little fly," and its use dates back to about 1583 in North America (Europeans referred to mosquitoes as "gnats").
  • Mosquitoes are insects that have been around for over 30 million years. There are about 2,700 species of mosquitoes.
  • Female mosquitoes drink blood and the nectar of plants; the males only sip plant nectar.
  • Mosquitoes can travel a mile or more from their breeding spot to find a meal.
  • The de Havilland Mosquito was a British combat aircraft that excelled in a number of roles during the Second World War.
  • The MosquitoTM is the name of a device that uses high frequency sound to deter youths from congregating in large groups and acting in an anti-social manner.
  • The Mosquito XE is an ultralight manned helicopter.
Interesting no?=)
