I have been trying to verify if this is actually true. I am unable to find any references to mosquitoes in the Kena, or any, Upanishad. Can someone help?

It's not in any upanishad to the best of my knowledge. Liberation by flying into a temple or woman praying in a temple? Sounds outside the fold of the upanishadic teachings.
