The resolution of the sensors is not sufficient to detect mosquitoes. The video gives the impression that the mosquitoes can be tracked with the ultrasonic sensor used and killed with the laser, but this is not the case. No evidence whatsoever is shown. https://cdn.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Sensors/Proximity/HCSR04.pdf

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1730933531608797346
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
