(semi-serious question) What happens when the sucker lands on your face and gets detected?

The laser is very weak, it can't even blast through the exoskeleton, it just destroys their wings. (it is a cheap laser like those used in blu-rays...and it needs to use a minimum of energy)

Also, its sensors are smart...it can tell the difference between male and female mosquitos by beats per second of their wings. So that shouldn't be a problem.

But what impact does this laser have on the human cornea, or retina?
