From: A simple and affordable method for estimating the fluid volume a mosquito sucks using food dyes
Influence of ingesting food dyes on survival and longevity of mosquitoes. a, b Survival rate of Ae. aegypti female mosquitoes that sucked 0.1 mM (a) or 1 mM (b) ATP solution containing either 4 μg/μl or 20 μg/μl green dye. The survival rate of 20–30 engorged mosquitoes was followed each day after membrane feeding. All experiments were performed more than three times. No significant difference was found in the Kaplan–Meier log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test (0.1 mM ATP, p = 0.0576; 1 mM ATP, p = 0.5808)
