Best Answer

They follow the carbon dioxide trail we breath, the heat from our blood, and lactic acid on our skin. Certain chemicals in our sweat also seem to have something to do with it. Once they come close, they are attracted by movement. What you're wearing (e.g. if it's high-contrast) might actually make you more visible.
