How small insects survive in the rain

The video explains how a mosquito interacts with raindrops. When hit by a raindrop, the mosquito's body offers little resistance, allowing it to combine with the droplet and fall. The water-repellent hairs on its body help the mosquito to free itself from the droplet before reaching the ground.

How do the water-repellent hairs on the mosquito's body help it?

• They make it invisible to predators.

• They allow it to swim.

• They help it escape from the droplet.
