Calvin, Mosquito King, had a judgment call to make. His underlings wanted to attack Sophia, all curves and soft flesh. But the overall mission was to expand targets across the board. That included Joe, all bones and hair and possible fungus. Union head Lawrence claimed he presented a disease threat. Calvin understood the danger and after careful consideration, sent in his top squadron to attack Joe, with explicit instructions to back off if nausea or dizziness occurred.
What he overlooked was Sophia's perfume and hair spray, toxic enough to wipe out half his warriors. Meanwhile, the Joe bloodsuckers returned, stoned out of their little minds. What drugs has that human been taking, one asked. They'd never tasted blood that pungent.
Joe actually liked mosquitoes more than ridiculous ant colonies, which accomplished nothing in his view. That was his own judgment call.
