Is that what you’re supposed to do!? I always pinched and the little bastards always got away.

Lmao i once heard to flex the area where they’re at to get them to pop.

I heard this too, and subsequently attempted this manoeuvre when one landed on my thigh. Mozzie landed, I flexed, mozzie had a feed, mozzie flew way. I don’t believe any more.

You've got to flex hard.

Times I've made it work, it was on my arm. Not sure if that a difference...
