A Chinese man who set up an online business selling dead mosquitoes says he's received 10,000 orders in just two days.
Nin Nan, of Shanghai, came up with the idea of selling mosquitoes he killed to attract visitors to his online jewellery shop.
"I locked myself in the room, thinking hard of a promotion plan. With a 'pa' sound and a dead mosquito, I came up with this weird idea," he told Qianlong News.
Nin sells his mosquito corpses for six yuan - about 45p - each. His ad reads: "Truly killed by human hands. Can be used for science studies, decoration, and collection."
He says that his shop registered 250,000 hits and he received more than 10,000 orders for dead mossies within two days of posting the ad on various forums.
Nin added that companies were offering to pay for adding advertisement links to his online shop and he's received two job offers, from an Australian red wine company and a Shanghai communications company.
But he said he would not be taking up either as he wanted to concentrate on his own business: "My goal is to make my face and name public," he said.
