- Animals are a source of carbon dioxide by exhaling
- Mosquitos can sense carbon dioxide in the air
- So, mosquitos sense animals by sensing their carbon dioxide emissions

- An animal is a kind of living thing
- A mosquito is a kind of animal
- Hence, a mosquito is a kind of living thing

- A mosquito is a kind of living thing
- Living things eat their food source
- Hence, mosquitos eat their food source

- Mosquitos eat their food source
- Mosquitos eat blood of animals
- So, animals are a source of food for mosquitos

- Animals are a source of food for mosquitos
- Sensing food has a positive impact on finding food
- Hence, sensing animals has a positive impact on a mosquito's ability to find food

- Mosquitos sense animals by sensing their carbon dioxide emissions
- Sensing animals has a positive impact on a mosquito's ability to find food
- Hence, sensing carbon dioxide has a positive impact on a mosquito's ability to find food

So, sensing carbon dioxide has a positive impact on a mosquito's ability to find food
Mosquitoes have adapted to detect carbon dioxide using certain sensory nerves. Mosquitoes instinctually move toward greater concentrations of carbon dioxide. What is the importance of this adaptation?
