Oh and I trust the government to do this right, I mean consider their history, they do so much else right....

They're going to create drones? This makes me think of iRobot for some reason...

I wonder what effect mosquitoes have on nature and what would happen if they died out.

Drones seem a bit extreme for mozzies.

It could "leave a predator without prey"

I have two bites on my legs, in NY they are tons. I thank the person who created "off"

We all have a purpose in life, even the mosquitos.

That article said that without mozzies it would mean no chocolate.

It also said that it would mean people don't die from transmitted diseases and populations wouldn't be cut down because of that.

Drones??? Isn't that a bif extreme? What happened to bets and bug spray?

[Gabriel_LCP]

The future is now. Scary stuff I tell ya!

I agree that drones does seem a bit extreme, but my guess is that it won't be long before the mozzies in Florida are bigger, faster and more powerful then the drones....

The fact that it ould leave predators without prey is very true though....

I am sure they will make some sort of foolish move to do something to entirely upset nature though, just give them a little more time....I mean we have Love Bugs because of these genetic scientists......lol

Yep, they do exactly what you think they do....love each other and procreate.....thats it......besides messing up the front of the car and the windscreen.....lol

Hahahah and how do you know that's all they do?

After the last few posts here Rick I would start to think there is some kind of theme going on...

[slotplayer]

there is one in here and has bitten me 7 or 8 times now. I just spotted it but could not crush her little azz.
every summer one gets in here and does a # on me.

how long do the little buggers live anyway?

Ok, going over the fact that Rick is our local bug expert... what??? Love Bugs were created??? Hum... Urban legend or not...?

Can't believe that this GPWA thread actually had me google bugs. What happened to actual work?

[Constantine]

Hi All,

Drones!!

What else are they going to think of!!

An ecosystem to be sustained needs all living creatures or else it will collapse. No?

Saying that, has anyone experienced mosquitoes in Malta? Big, nasty, love your blood more than vampires ever did and are ready to strike all year long!

Kind Regards

Once you experience having to wash the love bugs off the front of your car every day for a month twice a year, you learn about them prtty quick....

And besides, posting stuff that intrigues a person enough they just have to google it....makes the bug jokes that mush more entertaining....

Here is the legend and the facts.....

By the way, it is the responsibility of Florida citizens to tell tourists of the legend.....

Just like it is the responsibility of the Aussies to tell the tourists about drop bears?
