Monster mosquitoes have reportedly been spotted in Central Florida.
So-called gallinippers – the notoriously rapacious quarter-sized iteration of mosquito typically measuring 20-times the girth of its more petite, yet still-pesky, cousin – have swarmed Seminole County after a rain-soaked week reminiscent of the epoch when they first appeared in 2012 following Tropical Storm Debbie.
OVIEDO, Fla. – As predicted, mega mosquitoes, known as gallinippers, have arrived in Central Florida.
WKMG Local 6 in nearby Orlando quotes officials as saying the mammoth mosquitoes, which also go by the scientific alias psorophora ciliate, undoubtedly have arrived in plague-like fashion.
The channel cites Kelly Deutsch, director of Seminole County Mosquito Control, as exclaiming that despite their size, famously pugnacious disposition and penchant for attacking in swarms, officials will approach the gallinipper-infestation no differently than they would any other mosquito-borne problem.
In March, University of Florida entomologists made national news predicting a gallinipper invasion in the Sunshine State after they first appeared in 2012.
“And the hits just keep coming,” wrote one apparently-beleaguered Floridian named Justin Montana, in response to the WKMG report, while another offered the as-yet-unfounded tongue-in-cheek assessment, “Ahh. Climate Change…Ain’t it Grand?”

Where do the batteries go?
If you remember the gov. was experimenting with mosquitoes a couple years back in florida and had injected them with something then released them to the wild.Could these be them?
They were released last year, in an effort to fight a mosquito variety that can carry dengue fever. Which was a rare infection in Florida before 2009. We have no business releasing GM anythings into or environment we really still have no understanding of the dangers involved.
