that's where the mosquitos get down to business. we know mosquitos drink blood, there?> we put the blood on top of the cage like so, and then we have a heating element which goes on top of the feeding plate and that heats the blood producing the heat like body heat and that's what attracts the mosquito to the blood and then they feed by penetrating the film >>> three days later they will lay genetically modified egg. >> we fake the paper like this and we brush it through a sieve and it is as simple as that >>> they're so small >> we actually have 40 million eggs >>> 40 million? >> 40 million eggs >>> my gosh. those genetically modified eggs can be shipped around the world, hatched, raised and released. the insect comes with something else, a marker that can help identify the g m mosquitos from the rest of the population. so when you look at this, you're seeing six mosquito pupae and three of them are the company ones and the others are not. the only way you can tell is by changing the light. now, all of a sudden three of them disappear and only three are actually remain
