Ah. Thanks, Ed, that explains a lot.grin! I lived in Sarasota for
most of a five year stretch, and I recall the locals as being slow,
fat, and prone to =sploosh= (messily) when swatted with a towel.
They also seem to _buzz_ rather than whine, unlike our native
Viriginia species.

Still talking about mosquitoes, right?

Yeah. Most of the local _citizens_ didn't move all that fast, either,
but I don't think they'd =sploosh= very well. =Growl=, maybe, or
=roar=, but not =sploosh=. grin!

A few miles south of here, in south Jersey, they have the twin-engined
variety. They're hard to kill; they still fly pretty well with just one
engine.
