UV doesn't attract mosquitoes

Oh, are German mosquitoes different or is it really just placebo?

Thinking about it:

If I leave the window open with the light on in summer there will be hundreds of mosquitoes in the room (together with ~50% other critters). Even if no one was inside.

Window open without light: a dozen mosquitoes at max (as counted by suddenly switching the light on).

Whatever is known about other species is not correct about our breed.
