Summer is mosquito time.
They bite, they buzz, they itch, and they make stains when smashed. The most abundant mosquito species in South Florida is Aedes taeniorhynchus , the salt marsh mosquito. These insects can lay as many as 10,000 eggs per square foot on exposed moist soil. They especially like black mangrove swamps and the lagoons in Florida Bay keys. Heavy rains trigger egg hatching and rain-filled puddles soon turn black with squirming mosquito larvae.
