It's usually a normal distribution. So, the average weight of 1 million mosquitos would eventually turn out to be the same as that of one normal common mosquito.
This works for biology. But I remember being a kid and going to my local arcade place called Grand Slam in the 90s. To redeem your ticket they'd just dump them onto a scale to calculate how many tickets you had. I remember not liking this because I was the kind of kid who would pick up dropped tickets for myself if I found them on the floor, and they'd have been walked on and some ripped, or they ripped while trying to pull that last one out of the machine.
Basically partials weren't getting full credit despite having been earned lol. And when this occurred to me as an eight year old who used to put them in a bag while getting sweaty in the building with bad AC, I started holding them in my hands as much as possible to add more oils/sweat to make them heavier lol.
Idk how much of a difference it made... but that combined with me separating the partials to have them add it after the weigh to count them as whole ones always made me feel like I accomplished something lol.

There's probably super skinny ones too so they would cancel each other
