Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 June 1908 — A NEW VARIETY OF PESTS. [ARTICLE]

A NEW VARIETY OF PESTS.

The millions of mosquitos which have Invaded this country are general in different states. They have come three months in advance of their usual time, and are a different variety than was ever seen here before. They are not singers, but for biters they cannot be excelled. It is almost impossible to stand their warfare in the middle of the day if one goes in the grass or brush. When not filled with blood their body is long and wasplike, and around it from the waist down it is encircled with white rings. No doubt they are a new specie.— Crown Point Star.
