ELI5: If I swat at a mosquito and miss, will it remember/fear me? Or does it just dodge on instinct and go back to its usual buzzing around/hunting?

Insects only have a basic nervous system, so they're not capable of that kind of memory. Essentially, when a mosquito dodges a swat, it's because they interpret moving shadows/lines as predatory movement. Their compound eyes augment this survival reflex.
