Mosquito whisperer (on a good day)
We use wing measurements to calculate how big mosquitoes get, which can determine how many eggs made. We then use this to determine risk for diseases like malaria and Dengue fever. Bigger mosquitoes = more mosquitoes being added to the population = more potential bites from infected mosquitoes.
