Mosquito 1 is a 103 quadratic growth pattern that was found by Nick Gotts on September 29, 1998 . At the time of its discovery, it was the smallest known pattern exhibiting superlinear growth (passing the former record holder jaws ), but it was surpassed one week later by a 97-cell pattern found by Stephen Silver , and then almost immediately by the 85 mosquito 2 .

A 97-cell improvement of mosquito 1 by Stephen Silver(click above to open LifeViewer ) RLE :here Plaintext :here
It consists of the classic puffer 2 plus four lightweight spaceships and four middleweight spaceships . Once it gets going it produces a new block-laying switch engine (plus a lot of junk) every 280 generations . It is therefore an MMS breeder , albeit a messy one.
Generation 35000 of mosquito 1
