Quarter-Sized Blood Sucking Mosquitoes Awakening
 
These quarter-sized mosquitoes have been awaken in Florida by tropic storm Debbie last year, and this type of mosquito is native to the eastern half of North America. These mosquitoes are twenty times larger than your average garden variety mosquitoes. Their eggs can stay dry and dormant for years...:o

...So watch out if you are planning to hike in the dense woods this summertime, especially down South or in Florida.
