Mosquitoes also can fly in the rain

Have you ever wondered what happens to mosquitoes in the rain? A raindrop is, like, 50 times heavier than those little suckers. So getting hit by one has gotta hurt, right? Well, not so much. Because researchers at Georgia Tech have found that the bugs are so light, speeding water drops simply brush them aside, without imparting much force.

As long as they don't continue flying through a mist of bug spray then I'm good..I hate those little blood suckers.
