You’re finally lying down, ready to drift off to sleep… but a slight buzzing noise ruins the mood. That pesky mosquito, circling around you again, never showing itself! You’ve tried everything: the light on, the blanket up to your nose… nothing works. What if the solution was simply in the palm of your hand?

Lie comfortably on your back in bed. Breathe deeply.
Set your phone’s brightness to maximum.
Place it on your chest, lit screen facing up.
Bend your knees if your sheets are light-colored. This creates a more visible background to spot the mosquito.
