          All good comrade, it’s a reference to the most iconic scene in the OG Predator film which also has emojis on this site! solidarity

      Iceland has horseflies and stinging gnats that form dense swarms and get stuck in your nose hair and tear ducts because they want that salt off you.

      Culiseta

      From culex, the Latin for “gnat”

      Annulata

      meaning “ringed”

        Annulata and anus are cognates through that root.

    I wish they’d do to mosquitos what they did to the screw worm fly and also start doing that again to said fly

      they do do this to mosquitos, but in malarial areas. it’s not economical to kill them off in places they’re not making people deathly ill anymore
