The best explanation for these explanation is that they are experiencing copulation. Copulation is where they seek sexual intercourse to the opposite sex. Copulation has their own fix pattern, in which the male mosquitoes follows and the one that initiates them into doing this is the female mosquito's sound from the earphone.
