Actually, they are this big. (PIC below) The city where this person lives is not far from me. We have had a terrible problem with mosquitos, so they may have died from secondary infections from Avian Pox. But I don't think they are big enough to carry off the birds like a hawk would. We have mosquitos that have tiger stripes on their bodies. I'm sacred to go out when the mosquitos are bad.

Tiger mosquitoes. They are an introduced pest. They are the ones that are active in the daytime.

When they bite, it feels like a wasp or bee sting. It HURTS !!!!!!!!! Numbs the entire area.

Tiger mosquitoes. They are an introduced pest. They are the ones that are active in the daytime.

The really bad thing about tiger mosquitoes is that they are a vector for the transmission of many viral pathogens, including the West Nile virus, Yellow fever virus, St. Louis encephalitis, dengue fever, and Chikungunya fever.
