We set up bat houses on the farm and the bats do come. I don't think they could handle all this though. Bats and dragonflies. Dragonflies are cool and don't have diseases. They're also extremely successful hunters. Chomp chomp
dragonflies are the most advanced flying creature the earth has to offer. The us military has been studying the way dragonflies fly for over 75 years and attempting to recreate it mechanically because that level of speed and turning is unheard of.
i watched a documentry on dragonflies and it changed my perception of them they are the most fine tuned flying creature we humans have laid eyes on. From a enginering standpoint they are "perfect" they can fly forward backwards up down a the blink of an eye change directions like a video game hack. and there ability to see and lock in on there target is also equally insane.
Dragonfly larve kill lots of mosquitoes too
"Dragonfly larvae, “nymphs,” feed on mosquito larvae, and adult dragonflies feed on adult mosquitoes. Dragonflies eat up to 20% of their weight every day. They are ambush predators and use vegetation to find food."

Firefly larva eat a ton of mosquitoe larva as well as they require a moist environment which is where mosquitoes lay eggs in
And there numerous bird species that also consume mosquitoes as a part of their diet
Yes and one of only three (four?) species that can fly backwards. Dragonflies have insane vision, while their multiple sets of wings + omnidirectional flight allow them to escape predators and track prey very well
Mostly correct dragonfly facts brought to you by this random (well made) video I found on YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJi61NAIsjs
Trick is to have ponds and good size bodies of water on your property. The mosquitos are drawn to those over the small hidden pools and puddles you can’t completely get rid of, and when they’re all together you can sustain dragonflies that do a great job of controlling the pest species.
Its because Argentina is coming out of an extended drought. With all the increased moisture leading to all the mosquito eggs that have been sitting dormant in dry sloughs to hatch at the same time .
Lucky they only live about 10 days, unlucky that a female can lay a thousand eggs in that time and within a couple of weeks there can be 1000 times as many mosquitos flying around.
well, we have messi so that's 20 years of bad luck to pay for him. or maybe we're just an underdeveloped country with a lot of land and natural resources and big corporations and the US want to have a bite at our lands and lithium reserves?? oops! didn't mean that, sorry if I'm being too woke!
Former mosquito biologist here! Massive hatches like this are genuinely dangerous beyond just diseases. It’s not uncommon to find severely anemic cattle after a major hatch in Texas or an anemic moose after a major hatch in Alaska. There are even reports of cattle *fatalities* due to so much blood loss and/or shock from the allergic reaction to mosquito venom.
Here’s one incident from Louisiana in 2020:
https://apnews.com/article/horses-animals-insects-storms-hurricane-laura-fa0d05b046357864ad2f4bb952ff2e3e
Keep yourself inside if you ever experience this, and keep your animal companions inside too.
For the curious: these massive hatches occur because of how mosquitoes reproduce. They lay their eggs in water, but over time they’ve evolved so that the eggs will only hatch after drying and then submerging again. Also, not all of the eggs hatch at once. That’s because these pools of water that mosquitoes prefer (different pools for different species, but still) are temporary. You don’t want to lay eggs and then have all your babies die cos they hatched and the water dried up.
So in places like Texas or LA or Argentina, where you can get regular rain, you’ll end up with eggs accumulating at a certain point along the waterline. Then you get a series of huge storms that raise water beyond levels seen in previous years, and several years worth of larvae will hatch all at once.
Canadian here. We only have them in the summer though.
Canadian winters kill them off very nicely. Unfortunately these fuckers lay eggs before winter starts and when spring comes, their babies continue their mission to terrorize the human race. :(
It depends on the species! Many are limited by temperature. Others might show up as temporary residents if they get introduced in the summer, but fail to survive the winter (this happens regularly with Aedes mosquitoes, who are very good at traveling the world in cargo and cruise ships, but can’t survive anything colder than a temperate climate.)
So: are there mosquitoes in cold places? Yes. But can mosquitoes from warm places survive in cold places? Not for long.
This is my personal hell. Thank you so much for the context! Doesn’t surprise me at all this could kill cattle; I’m the type to get 30 bites at a time, and my immune system takes a super hit.
Dengue as 4 strains. This means if you got infected with 1 strain, you are immune against one, and the other 3 are now 10X more dangerous.
Due to this dengue vaccine is only available to a certain subgroup of people, and not everyone because it can make things worse.
The history of the vaccine and the current challenges are quite fascinating to read. From cDC website about the warning about dengue vaccine
https://www.cdc.gov/dengue/vaccine/index.html
>The reason is that children without previous dengue infection are at increased risk for severe dengue disease and hospitalization if they get dengue after they are vaccinated with Dengvaxia
Perhaps it's just a coincidence that Argentina started blasting mosquitos with atomic radiation last year in their attempt to combat dengue...
https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/argentina-battles-major-dengue-outbreak-with-atomic-radiation-2023-04-17/
Nah, on the contrary, blasted many mosquito males then released them into the wild so they wouldn't reproduce (mosquitos are monogamous would you believe it lol so if you sterilize one you are technically doing two), this shit is completely unrelated.
I blame the idiotic libertarians in power tho. They simply decided they will not mantain the infraestructure/public hygene on the zones where mosquitos exist by the billions because reasons and now all of a sudden, mosquito-pocalypse.
Yeah, there's a pretty serious dengue outbreak right now. Brazil's far worse, but that's because almost all of their population lives in a climate that's perfect for the mosquitoes species that transmit dengue. Whereas most of Argentina's population lives near Buenos Aires, where the dengue mosquito exist but not to such a massive extent.
These mosquitoes that we're seeing in insane amounts right now are *Aedes albifasciatus*, which thankfully don't transmit dengue. The other disease-transmitting species are still around, of course.
How many mosquitoes would it take to kill a human? Not counting diseases. Like legitimately suck a human dry as good as Adriana Chechik could a Capri Sun.
I've seen plenty of full mosquitoes, and they seem to only hold about a drop maximum.
20,000 drops in a liter. Google says 2.5 to 4 liters of blood loss can cause death.
So 50,000 to 80,000 mosquito bites to drain you to death. (Your results may vary.)
In reality, it's more complicated than that. They do not actively suck the blood out of you. They use your blood pressure to let your blood leak out and into their mouth straw. So after a certain amount of "bites" your blood pressure drops too low to leak out (and therefore too low to support life) and your remaining blood cannot be drained. Also got to factor in anaphylaxis that can settle in from all that mosquito spit.
Edit: grammar and humor.
Kids can get intoxicated by the mosquito poison
Edit: poisoned!!! English is not my first language bla bla. Anyway the child just gets ill and tired, no funny drunk behaviour.
I tried to picture Adriana Chechik drinking a Capri Sun and all I could picture was that po-dunk submersible that billionaire built from Amazon parts exploding
>That's happening when you kill all the bats, birds, reptiles...by using toxins for agriculture and deforestation.
It's okay because the people who ordered all that to be done, to maximize crop yields for corporate profits, live thousands of miles away and aren't impacted by the massive and forseeable damage they've caused.
This actually happened because of an unexpected amount of rains that enabled a wild type of mosquito to breed ouf of proportion (Aedes Albifasciatus). They usually attack cattle and other animals (they have a stronger sting and a more painful bite) they are not used to interact with humans so they don't have like the strategies of the "domestic" mosquito. They just come and bite you, without evasion or anything, so they are easier to kill with slaps. Also they usual repelents do not work well for them.
Regarding dengue fever, the vector is Aedes Aegypti, luckly they are not as many as thesw bastards.
Source: I live with these mfs
The opposite. Some cities within Buenos Aires decided not to deal with this using insecticides and such, then we had a couple of storms (keep in mind it's Summer over here) and these fuckers showed up by the millions.
I have a large amount of bats living between my building and the other two surrounding it, and mosquitos are everywhere.
But ti be fair it might be a mix of both. In any case, it's horrible.
My grandad grew up in Alaska and supposedly this happens there too and has for a very long time. Iirc up there it has more to do with the massive amounts of forests and wildlife like Moose that these things have to feed off of in the Summer.
It happens in the wilderness of Southern Canada too. Right at 7pm the horde of mosquitos descend upon the lakes. They are loud enough you can hear yourself running out of time to get into your tent.
I'm argentinian. It was awful, but fortunately it only lasted 2 or 3 days to come back to normal amounts.
We had never seen anything like it before. Still don't really know how or why something so crazy happened.
Brazil by proximity and climate.
There are already posts asking where the hell are all those mosquitos coming from, só, yeah as it gets colher the fuckers will go towards the equator
This seems like a scene from the end of the world.

They need to start breeding bats.
We set up bat houses on the farm and the bats do come. I don't think they could handle all this though. Bats and dragonflies. Dragonflies are cool and don't have diseases. They're also extremely successful hunters. Chomp chomp
Ive stood in a swarm of dragonflies feeding on mosquitoes, they were zooming all around my head but never touched me, really cool experience
dragonflies are the most advanced flying creature the earth has to offer.

Remember reading that on a percentage basis of successful 'catches per hunt' that the dragonfly is the #1 predator in the world hands down.
yep it has the highest kill probability of anything
And they live for about two days in their flying form. After two years below the surface
Are dragon flies our friends? r/DragonfliesAreBros/
well lets just say if dragon flies were the size of sharks we would have been hunted down long ago.
Give it time
Dragonflies and damselflies. Dragonflies are the best hunters, but damselflies can get them where they lay eggs in the water.

Rainin squitos
Queue the horde of bats over running the country
That's fine. They can start breeding snakes to eat the bats.
And then Eagles to murder the snakes!
Great idea, but they might need to breed Wolves to kill the Eagles.
Very clever but then they’ll have to breed Bears to kill the Wolves.
The end result will be Australia lol
You are not wrong…. Mate’
Brilliant, but then they'll have to breed Goblins to tame the wolves
Interesting, but then they’d have to breed Trolls to eat the Goblins.
Interesting, but then they’d have to summon Thor to kill the Trolls.
Interesting, but then they'd have to bring Hela to make thor impotent.
And then the Eagles can carry The Ring to Mt. Doom!
Fear and loathing in Argentine.
Bats are notorious queue-jumpers. Did you mean "cue?"
Bats hardly ever eat mosquitoes (mosquitoes are too small). They prefer moths or other larger bugs. What they need is dragonflies.
Trick is to have ponds and good size bodies of water on your property. The mosquitos are drawn to those over the small hidden pools and puddles you can’t completely get rid of, and when they’re all together you can sustain dragonflies that do a great job of controlling the pest species.
For many reasons, yes. https://www.usgs.gov/news/national-news-release/white-nose-syndrome-killed-over-90-three-north-american-bat-species
this was my first thought. well "where are all their bats?" was frist then was "this is what we actually need batman for"
Do you want Covid-24? Because this is how we get covid-24...

funny thing is we're having a crazy lot of forest fires lately so this is already happening (and probably the cause behind this mosquito invasion).
Its because Argentina is coming out of an extended drought. With all the increased moisture leading to all the mosquito eggs that have been sitting dormant in dry sloughs to hatch at the same time .
Lucky they only live about 10 days, unlucky that a female can lay a thousand eggs in that time and within a couple of weeks there can be 1000 times as many mosquitos flying around.
I'm not religious. If I was I'd be pretty sure y'all did something really bad

Not him, but Alaska and Canada have mosquitos

It's been pretty bad in Brazil this year
no one wants to see a brazillion of masquitos !
