Mosquitoes survive collisions with raindrops


Mosquitoes survive collisions with rain drops by clinging to the drop and riding it for a while.
Lightweight insects can ride water droplets, as long as they separate in time

When a storm rolls in, mosquitoes have to battle raindrops that are close to their size but with a mass up to 50 times that of the average mosquito (equivalent to the difference between a human and a school bus).
