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?
Update: <b>It is certainly not in the Kena Upanishad. Click here for the translation.</b>

This is a white lie of the first order. Kenopanishad has no such mention of any mosquito, nor of any such woman.

By the way as a side note. Vishwas ji, please be careful when using that site you quoted for Upanishads. That is based upon the 'translations' by Max Muller the great. SO just be careful. Better and more accurate translations are available on the web. One resource which I find useful, having translations of 108 Upanishads, by reputable Hindu sanyasis is this: http://celextel.org/108upanishads.html.

Also http://www.granthamandira.org/ has many granthas in general in downloadable pdf format, along with Vaishnava interpretations both in Hindi and English; with original Sanskrit.
