I see them around from time to time. I doubt if they transmit deadly diseases like the much smaller mosquitoes that cause deadly diseases like malaria, yellow fever etc 1 Like |

TyroneP:That's a terrorist mosquito. A blood bandit. An anopheles vampire crinkum crankum sucking succubus. It's meant to be embalmed and placed in a commercial freak museum to generate millions of dollars from viewing because it's type is rear. 3 Likes 1 Share

Not all mosquitoes species carry malaria and not all mosquitoes bite. Quit being dramatic over nothing. |

What you probably saw might not have been a mosquito at all, but a crane fly (often called “giant mosquito” by mistake). - Crane flies look like oversized mosquitoes with very long legs, but the good news is: - They don’t bite or suck blood (harmless to humans). - They usually just flutter around lights or rest on walls. True mosquitoes, even the largest tropical species, don’t reach that dramatic size. TyroneP: 1 Like |
