Sunflower, the little red lumps on the sycamore leaves are the results of the tiny Sycamore gall mite laying their eggs there - nothing to do with mosquitoes and absolutely no threat to you at all. Just part of Nature's wonderful world.
They live their lives Sunflower - with no regard to you or I, just like most of the natural world. There are millions of varieties of insects out there just getting on with things.
