One of the most ferocious insects you've ever heard of — it's the size of a quarter and its painful bite has been compared to being knifed — is set to invade Florida this summer.The Sunshine State, already home to man-eating sinkholes, invading Burmese pythons, swarming sharks, tropical storms and other disasters, can expect to see an explosion of shaggy-haired gallinippers (Psorophora ciliata), a type of giant mosquito, according to entomologist Phil Kaufman of the University of Florida.

Damn.. A Bite Just as a Knife? Goodness..
 
I hate the Asian Tiger mosquito that leaves the huge welts... They are sooooo annoying compared to the big brown mosquitos we have in TN.
