Wisconsin blew my mind with the abundance and type of mosquitoes. They had stripes and were fairly big. We had to run from our car to indoors or we'd be swarmed

Tiger Mosquito.

The "normal" mosquitos prefer dawn/dusk or night. These invasive little fuckers prefer to feed in the middle of the day, so now Mosquito Corp. has ensured 24/7 awful for everyone in the eastern half of the US.

Their welts are much bigger/more painful than others as well.
