Too Close for Comfort
A Culex mosquito crawls toward the eye of an 'i'iwi, a type of songbird known as a honeycreeper. Many species of Hawaiian honeycreepers are considered critically endangered, as National Geographic reported in 2023. This is not only due to climate change and habitat loss, but also because of the spread of avian malaria via mosquitoes. Foraging can also increase these birds' exposure to disease.Secrets of the Bees
