Cartoon: In an underworld inferno, a man and woman are listening to a demon explain where the couple is. Speech bubble: “Welcome to science hell, professor. This is Tony, he once saw something on the internet about your field of expertise and is going to spend eternity lecturing you on it.”

We use wing measurements to calculate how big mosquitoes get, which can determine how many eggs made. We then use this to determine risk for diseases like malaria and Dengue fever. Bigger mosquitoes = more mosquitoes being added to the population = more potential bites from infected mosquitoes.
Learning how to measure mosquito wings with @mosquito-brit.bsky.social ! An. stephensi pictured 🧪🦟

Does anyone know the species name of this little guy? I got to soft tick and gave up. Found in Ithaca, NY. 👀
