HOW MOSQUITOES FLY IN THE RAIN: They bounce off the raindrops. Well, sort of.

Even though a single raindrop can weigh 50 times more than a mosquito, the insect can still fly in the rain.

Now, Georgia Tech researchers have determined how this is possible with the help of high-speed videography.

They found the mosquito’s strong exoskeleton and low mass render it impervious to falling raindrops.

Interesting. My guess is that this has a lot of relevance for flying microrobots, too.
