Asian Rock Pool Mosquito migrates to Europe
July 26, 2013 at 2:26 pm

Another change to the European enviorment through climate change, the Asian Rock Pool Mosquito has now been found to have migrated into Central and Southern Europe where through rising average temperatures, living conditions for that species of mosquito have improved. They are known to be especialy agressive and to transmit illnesses such as West Nile Virus and various encephalitic viruses.
edited: viruses have only been proven to be transmitable by that species in a laboratory and not observed in nature.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!

Like we didn't have enough mosquitoes as it was.. Soon you'll be able to grow bananas in Lapland '-_-
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

*cries*
I hope they never come here!
When I was a kid I never saw a mosquito in London. Now the little fuckers are all over the place in summer.
