Is this the bottom half of Loss?

I’ll caption it with fire, aedes aegypti should burn in hell
How is this useful? Shouldn’t the female be deaf - or is there something about mosquito mating I don’t understand.
Doesn’t matter if the female is deaf. She still calls for mating and the males will hear her.
I don’t think this is useful. Looks like an explanation about why deaf mosquitoes aren’t common.
It could be useful to reduce their numbers, as long as the female passes the mutation to its children.
The males won’t pass the mutation to their children, enforcing that it will disappear in 5 or 6 generations… So, if it does anything, it will last for a couple of months at most.
But also, it doesn’t slow down the females at all, and the male mosquito population isn’t usually the bottleneck on their reproduction.
