We have been abandoned! I really think it's something about us biting back (the mosquitoes). Sort of a word play. But who knows?! Only the asker! Sniff, sniff... :(
Impossível qualquer manifestação sem que o/a consulente retorne com a informação pedida. Sem contexto, é pura adivinhação. A tradução literal proposta por Floriana é a única solução possível, nessas circunstâncias.
I don't think anyone can agree or disagree on any of these...there is absolutly nothing to support any of our opinions...for all we know all these can be wrong or be correct! The asker is really the only one that will know, I guess, since there is no response of feed back from him. Don't you agree?
Por favor, poderia colocar a frase? Assim parece ser a gente mordendo os mosquitos. Thanks! :)

I'm not saying more context isn't a good idea, but it's a common expression, it doesn't mean you're out there biting mosquitoes, it means you are fighting back, mosquitoes bite - it's a play on words, it may actually be the title of the thing.
Explanation: Sem mais contexto esta poderia ser uma possibilidade.

The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
