Something else that the makers
of Jurassic Park didn’t tell you is
that Tox mosquitoes are
"good" mosquitoes.
Tox larvae look like dark,
brown dragons and they
feed on other mosquito larvae.
Also,anything else they
can catch, I know, I've raised
thousands of them. The adults
are large, rainbow colored
veggie-eaters that feed on plant juice.

Speaking of giant mosquitoes, here’s one
for you. Remember the amber-encased
mosquito in the movie in Jurassic Park?
That was actually a type of mosquito that
does not feed on blood and, therefore, could
not have provided the DNA to reproduce the
dinosaurs. It is a Toxorhynchites mosquito,
notice the big curved proboscis. The Tox
mosquito was chosen because it is the
worlds largest mosquito.
Yep, the mosquito in the movie came from
Florida!

The average female mosquito is the
size and weight of a grape seed, but
our Florida mosquitoes come in all
shapes and sizes. From the giant
“feather-legged gallinippers”,
that drove early Central
Florida cowpokes into a whip-
cracking frenzy, to tiny,
jewel-like monsters that drive
modern South Florida bromeliad
growers crazy.

Male mosquitoes can be identified by
their feathered antennae, which act as
their "ears", and he can only hear one
thing- the whine produced by the wings
of a female mosquito of his species .
This caused a
big problem in
a generator in
Canada. It
continually
kept clogging
up with insects
and shutting
down. Finally
they called in an
entomologist who told them that, the
insects where all male "Aedes
Canadensis" mosquitoes. They were
attracted to the whine of the fly wheel
because the pitch sounded exactly like
the whine of the female's mosquitoes'
wings. They changed the weight of the
flywheel, which changed the pitch of
the whine and Bingo!
No more mosquitoes.

The absolute worse place for mosquitoes is
in on the arctic tundra when the snow
melts.
That’s when the Arctic mosquito, (Aedes
Communis), hatches by the billions.
They’re lying in waiting for the caribou
herds to arrive. And when they do, some
unlucky, or slow animals will actually be
covered like fur and exsanguinated. And
by the way...that means completely
drained of blood.

Italian mosquitoes have always produced a
most virulent strain of malaria because of
the swamps surrounding ancient Rome.
Over the centuries, Roman citizens became
immune to the disease, while hordes of
Vandals, Huns, Visigoths, Ostragoths or
whatever else you Goths, attacking the
walls of Rome, died off in droves. However,
when the Romans sent an army of 80,000
to conquer the Scots, their legions were cut
in half by a particularly deadly form of
Scottish malaria.

| By the way, that big, skinny thing you see in the corner flying in a looping circle? That’s a Crane Fly not a giant mosquito. They feed on mold not people. Very beneficial... Please leave it alone. |
Mosquitoes could be called
the “Angels of Death”.,
because they have probably
killed more people than all
the wars since the
beginning of history. This
also includes the Great
Plagues of Central Asia and
Medieval Europe in the 13th
and 15th Centuries that
killed hundreds of millions
of people. Mosquito-
vectored diseases still kill
one person every 70
seconds around the clock
around the globe.

| FUN MOSQUITO FACTS |
Our sweet-smelling, safe, All-Natural Mosquito Sprays are available to our lawn
customers as a add-on, as-requested service. We also do sprays for special events like
parties and weddings. In 2002 we located our business next to a cypress swamp in Palm
Valley. Our entomologist/co-owner is a former entomologist for several Mosquito
Control Districts, the former Bio-Control Editor for the American Mosquito Control
Association and wrote a book on mosquitoes for professional entomologists. As he was
flat on his back in the long grass fixing an obstinate trailer hitch, the mosquitoes were
eating him alive."Have your fun now girls" he muttered under his breath, "You have
no idea who just moved in". Today the property is virtually mosquito-free.
