The mosquitos will be here before we know it.
LEE COUNTY, Fla. – Have you ever felt like you were being attacked by 1 million mosquitoes? You might have a better idea of what that actually looks like now, thanks to researchers in Florida.“We’re collecting these … all the time,” said Erik Jackson, the deputy director of mosquito control.“We’ve had people call and say the mosquitoes are terrible, we got a million mosquitoes around us,” Jackson said.
’”“I’m walking down the hallway, and I see our biologists there with a pile of mosquitoes sitting on the table. I think several of us came in to take pictures,” Jackson said.They weren’t collected for fun, however. They were collected for science and are part of a project with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to see if trapping is good for actual mosquito control instead of just research purposes.The 1 million mosquitoes were trapped in one area of Sanibel Island in the summer of 2021.
