Default Mutant Mosquitos attacking Florida, carrying off small pets and kids

http://rt.com/usa/giant-mosquito-florida-invasion-114/

Seriously though wtf!?!!

Quote:
You might want to think twice about your beach vacation this year: giant mosquitoes are expected to invade Florida this summer. The insects are 20 times larger than most other mosquitoes and their bites feel like stab wounds.
an holy sh$$ run

Quote:
They attack fish, wild animals and pets. Their larvae are so ferocious they can eat small fish and tadpoles. With bodies the size of a quarter, the giant insects can bite through clothing and are known to attack at all times of the day.
Quote:
They’re biting through cotton canvas shorts," Florida resident Ken Clark told Ann Arbor News. “We’ve never seen a mosquito go through something like this.”

When I was young and worked in the mountains in the summer we didn't care about the mosquitos. It was the big ass black flies that left welts on your bodies. We tried every single bugs spray and nothing would stop them from biting us and then one of the guys stumbled on his grandpa's old fishing gear and brought this old musk oil and that stuff actally worked even if it made us all smell ripe.

I remember driving through Rainbow Lake and seeing a big mosquito statue. Don't know if that's the mascot.

Close. It's High Level. They have a gigantic mosquito mascot that has even appeared in the Stampede parade, at least once, if not more than that.
