    Have Mosquitoes Gotten Bigger....

    ....over the last couple of decades? When I lived in Houston, we used to have little small ones in the late 70's. I am here in Tennessee, three decades later, and some of them are big enough to eat me for lunch. Is it the area I moved to, or have they just transformed?

    I don't think they're getting bigger. I grew up in rural Massachusetts in the '80s and the skeeters there were huge.

    Now I live in Vegas where no mosquitos live
