A tiger mosquito?
Science has gone too far.

Yes. Cold winters kill these mosquitos, and winters are not that cold anymore.

Happily living in northern Sweden until I have to migrate further north to avoid these fuckers. Regular mosquitos are bad enough here as it is during the summer.
Are... are tiger mosquitos worse than regular ones?

Tiger mosquitoes have been in the US since they hitched a ride in a tire from China in the 80's, before algore invented the internet or global warming. The cold weather didn't stop them from invading Michigan, new york, Pennsylvania, Vermont, new Hampshire....

We are having an explosion of dengue cases in Latin America propagated by that mosquito, it is not a nice disease and immunity doesn't really work, depending on your luck. Good luck everyone!

Heck, the invasion of Normandy 2, electric boogaloo

Is it still being implemented? This awesome article is from 2022.
I just tried to look for newer hits, but I keep getting articles from 2022 (though several from Nature)

I wish that anti-mosquito laser was on the market

Looks like I'm eating crow, thanks for the article. Looks like I have to call my vet and pediatrician since it's been getting warmer around here.

I hate those little bastards
After encountering blackfly in Strasbourg last year and having legs covered in blistered bites I don't have as much hatred for the tiger mosquito, at least the reaction to those bites is minimal
Oh yeah, there's definitely worse
Still hate them
