The Gnat's Temperature Perceptors
Gnats are equipped with very sensitive heat preceptors.
They can perceive entities around them in colors, depending on
their temperatures. Since this perception is independent of light,
they can easily locate blood vessels in a darkened room.
The gnat's heat preceptors are senstitive enough to detect
temperature variations of just 1/1000 of a degree.
Amazing Technique of Blood Sucking
After the gnat lands on its target, it first detects a spot by
means of the lips in its proboscis. The syringe-like 'sting' of the
gnat is protected by a special sheath, which is stripped back dur-
ing the blood-sucking process.
The gnat does not pierce the skin, as assumed, by thrusting
its proboscis into it with pressure. Here, the main task falls to the
upper jaw, which is as sharp as a knife, and the mandible on
which there are teeth bent backwards. The gnat moves its
mandible forwards and backwards like a saw and cuts the skin
with the help of the upper jaws. When the sting, inserted through
this cut in the skin, reaches to the blood vessel, the drilling ends.
Now it is time for the gnat to suck blood.
However, as we know, the slightest harm to the vessels
causes the human body to secrete an enzyme that makes the
blood clot and stops its leakage. This enzyme should create a
problem for the gnat, because the body should also react to the
hole opened by the gnat, causing the blood at this spot to clot im-
mediately and the wound to be repaired. That would mean that
the gnat could not suck any blood.
