Mega mosquitoes? No thanks. Thankfully, we’re based out of Nashville, Tennessee, where the mosquitoes, albeit a nuisance, aren’t ‘mega’ just yet. But, as apart of our quest to cover the oncoming war on humans, as the animal kingdom attempts to take back the Earth from humans, we have to cover this important story.
Courtesy of our friends at WKRN:
Some areas in North Carolina dealing with flooding following Hurricane Florence are also being invaded by some of the largest, most aggressive mosquitoes.
These mosquitoes, called “gallinippers,” are known for their painful bite and often lay eggs in low-lying damp areas.
North Carolina State University entymology professor Michael Reisking told The Fayetteville Observerthat Florence’s floodwaters have caused the eggs for such species to hatch.
The species can grow up to 20 times larger than other common mosquitoes and have a sting that is painful enough to feel like you’ve been stabbed, according to LiveScience.com.
Officials say most mosquitoes that emerge after flooding do not transmit human disease but still pose a public health problem.
A public health problem? Hell yeah! I would definitely call ‘getting stabbed’ a public health concern! That’s just what these mosquitoes are doing…the damn gallinippers are coming to stab you all. The worst part is that there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. It’s not like we can combat Mother Nature. She is always quick to remind us of what a frigid bitch she can be. Now, you have mutant creatures being born out of her wrath?
What the hell can humans do to stop a storm from coming and spawning a new race of ultra predators? Might as well be the White Walkers tearing down the wall.
This is like a horror movie. We’ve seen the giant snakes and alligators, but how in the hell do we ward off mosquitoes? They’re hard enough to police as is. Much less when they’re 20 times larger and basically have a knife for a stinger. I don’t know. I’m just a journalist, but I sincerely hope that somewhere in America, we have scientists working to resolve this issue.
But, check out this photo from a resident’s Instagram page:
That’s not a mosquito. That’s a bird. It’s huge and it stabs you when it stings you? Shit, that’s like a pterodactyl with a switchblade.
A Facebook video shared by Cassie Rulene Vadovsky showed large mosquitoes bouncing off the windows of a car.
“This is insane, you should have seen just before this photo when I first pulled up,” she captioned the video. “Mosquito-pocalypse is in full effect and there is no slowing it down.”
This is terrifying. Are we sure this isn’t a PR stunt for a new J.J. Abrams flick?
My advice would be to never leave the house if you live in the Carolinas. It’s the only way to be safe. Also, fuck mosquitoes.
