Mosquito 2
Mosquito 2 is a breeder and 85-cell quadratic growth pattern that was found by Nick Gotts in October 1998. At the time of its discovery, it was the smallest known pattern exhibiting superlinear growth (passing the former record holder mosquito 1), but it was surpassed by mosquito 3 a few hours later.

Its size reduction from mosquito 1 comes in part from it having two fewer middleweight spaceships but one more lightweight spaceship.

gollark: I'm not convinced that the "if it alone leads to the development of modern science" thing is true, and I still don't agree regardless of that.
gollark: In any case, "spreads better than competitors" doesn't make it "better" in some way *for you to hold*.
gollark: I'm not very knowledgeable on the history, but I doubt what happened was a historical certainty. I think one pivotal thing was one of the emperors converting, and without that it might never have taken over.
