Washtenaw County residents have noticed large gallinipper mosquitoes buzzing around as part of a recent boom in the mosquito population. This gallinipper is a somewhat all-encompassing term for big, flying biting insect. These mosquitoes are officially known as Psorophora ciliata.
Superficially, mosquitoes resemble crane flies (family Tipulidae) and chironomid flies (family Chironomidae). In particular, the females of many species of mosquitoes are blood-eating pests and dangerous vectors of diseases, whereas members of the similar-looking Chironomidae and Tipulidae are not.arvae of the non-biting Toxorhynchites mosquitoes are also natural predators of other Culicidae. Each larva can eat 10 to 20 mosquito larvae per day. During its entire development, a Toxorhynchites larva can consume an equivalent of 5,000 larvae of the first-instar (L1) or 300 fourth-instar larvae (L4).
