Steven’s Reviews > The Mosquito: A Human History of Our Deadliest Predator > Status Update

I’m only a short way into this book and I’m already annoyed by the weird anthropomorphic and/or sexist way Winegard refers to mosquitos as “she.” I get that all biting mosquitos are female. Point made. But we’re talking about insects here. Can’t you use the pronoun “it” for these flying invertebrates like everyone else?
