Mosquitoes: How big of a problem can they be?
If you ever thought mosquitoes to simply be a nuisance, or a necessary evil for our ecosystem, perhaps you have not imagined how large a problem they actually are. In the past, I have written about the largest mosquito and burgeoning mosquito populations. If you have ever been to an outdoor party and suffered a mosquito bite or two, you likely haven’t thought about how large their numbers actually are. Shorter winters and rising temperatures in Central Mass (and everywhere) have seen those numbers grow over the last decade or more. How large could the mosquito population be?
