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.
Mosquitoes are members of a family of nematocerid flies: the Culicidae (from the Latin culex, genitive culicis, meaning midge or gnat). Superficially, mosquitoes resemble crane flies (family Tipulidae) and chironomid flies (family Chironomidae).ome mosquitoes also attack invertebrates, mainly arthropods. Though the loss of blood is seldom of any importance to the victim, the saliva of the mosquito often causes an irritating rash that is a serious nuisance. Much more serious though, are the roles of many species of mosquitoes as vectors of diseases.
