    A mosquito doesn’t way anywhere near a gram let alone several. A penny is .9 grams for reference.

      You are right, I admit that I’m Americans so I’m used to thinking in football fields and bananas as my units, so grams don’t inherently mean much to my brain. Not sure if Google steered me wrong with the weight of mosquitoes or if I missed a metric prefix or didn’t move a decimal point somewhere. Don’t have time to go back and fix my math right now but I did throw a little disclaimer in my comment. I’ll try to fix that later.
