#7 All jokes aside these suckers really hurt when they bite. They have eggs that can rest several years untill really heavy rains. Then the fun starts they are big enough that they get noticed in suburbia and thus make action news. A major hatch can get your attention. The worst Florida mosquito is the salt marsh mosquito they attack like the Chinese at the Yalu river. While you swat the 6 on your arm there are 12 on your hand. The real fun comes when you start inhaling them as they try to land inside your mouth or nose where there is no repellent. If you want the Florida cracker experience just try walking one the trails through the mangroves in Everglades without repellent. You'll believe the oldtimers' stories of the screens turning black. Then there is the little gnat sized one that gets in the house and seems only to bite ankles.
