Urban Mosquitoes, Like Urban People, Are More Tenacious And Annoying
Great: “The Asian tiger mosquito, named for its distinctive black-and-white striped body, is a relatively new species to the U.S. that is more vicious, harder to kill and, unlike most native mosquitoes, bites during the daytime. It also prefers large cities over rural or marshy areas — thus earning the nickname among entomologists as ‘the urban mosquito.’… Since urban areas tend to be warmer — often by 5 to 10 degrees — than rural areas, cities are seeing tiger mosquitoes earlier and sticking around longer, often into October.” But then, you already knew this.
