Since The Tutor did this, I've no idea what goes on in his boudoir at night - or during the day.
An update:
The Tutor: "I've a new pet!"
Me: "Really? You replaced me that quickly?"
The Tutor: "Funny! Yeah. It's a mosquito. I've named him 'Bloodsucker'. Quite ironically I might add."
Me: "Bloodsucker? Ironically? Him? I get it."
The Tutor: "The little beast flies about my head each night as I try to fall asleep. His tonal discharge is oddly comforting. I reckon Bloodsucker considers me to be a walking/sleeping Singles Bar for mosquitoes. He figures a female will eventually find me and then he's 'In like Flynn' faster than you can say 'listen to my sexy 17kHz tone baby!' "
Me: "Comforting? I can see that. You know the males only live for two to three weeks. It's gonna be a short relationship followed by separation, heartbreak and the inevitable sad recriminations."
The Tutor: "No time to lose then. Bloodsucker needs to get laid! And quick!"
Last I saw, The Tutor was outside in the back garden with his sleeves rolled going all Boko Haram on the swarm to catch a 'female' when it alights on his bare arm. What neither of us know, however, is whether these haematophagous fuckers seek a bloodmeal before or after mating. If it is after, poor Bloodsucker is going to have to swap gametes with a damsel already up the duff. I hope he's into that sort of thing.
