Of the 80 mosquito species found in Florida, only 34 species may be found in Okaloosa County, and to the trained eye, each one looks as different as a poodle and a doberman. Other mosquitoes you may find in your yard or home are usually bigger.
Mosquitoes share similar habits, but each has a distinct lifestyle.
Fortunately, not very many of these 34 species are major pests or disease carriers.
