A 2013 Post about our Asian Tiger Mosquitos

We have had several Asian Tiger Mosquitos in our house up to about 2 weeks ago. They are HUGE compared to a normal mosquito. Just learned today from this article in nbcnews.com that the mosquito may carry the dengue virus. Not only that virus but I guess a new virus from Africa as well. According to the article, Chikungunya virusis also a very painful virus to get. It was found in Sint Maartin.

I am including a shot of one here but I may have to take a picture with my camera when I see another one. Fortunately, we have lots of geckos in the house and they do an amazing job of eating the bugs.
