just wondering..when mosquitos(or any other flying animal) fly, is it true that they are exerting a force downwards(by flapping their wings),thus by newton's third law there'll be a reaction force(lift) which pushes them up.
if that is true, why mosquitos dont exist on higher altitudes?is it because of the force needed to push them is too much?or is it something to deal with pressure difference??
please answer using physics concepts,thank you.
