For EMD,

Mosquito trapping at this time of year is not strange at all, in fact it is what every county and mosquito control district is doing if they consider having an integrated mosquito control management program prescribed by the Florida Mosquito Control Association.

Birds and mosquitoes both carry arboviruses with birds being reservoirs. Some mosquito species over winter with these viruses. Early detection of these viruses by testing mosquitoes can help determine the frequency in which amplification of viruses will exist.

For more information about arboviral mosquito/avian cycles, contact the Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory in Vero Beach Florida …….Dr. Jonathan Day. Or, pherec.org Public Health Entomology Research and Education Center.

As far as the individual who set the Center for Disease Control Light Trap in Escambia Co. ‘ Bravo Zulu’, I trained her myself.

Imaginations run wild, back in the 60s on a stretch of hwy 31 between Wawbeek and Flomaton, You could see a white light that seemingly came from out of the sky and momentarily reappeared as a red light and went back up to the sky and disappeared. People came from miles around to view this strange phenomenon. After about a week and literally thousands of visitors two men with a pickup truck and two CB radios solved the mystery. One stayed on the spot on the Hwy and the other drove to Upper Creek Road. A large area of timber had been cut and exposed the area of the road. Surely enough the headlights came down the hill and made a turn and headed back up the hill and disappeared. Henceforth the aliens that had been invading our area for the last many days disappeared.

Yes, but just how much tax dollars are we spending to try and catch some mosquitoes in February? Do they actually catch any in these temperatures?
And for the lack of a simple $2 label of some descriptive sort, the county just spent how many thousands of manhour and equipment dollars to respond to investigate this “glowing object in the woods” ?????? It is laughably sad.

Yes Earthlings, er, I mean people, it was a mosquito trap. There is nothing to induce fear in your cranial cavities. Listen to the implausible explanations of your elected officials and continue with your daily biological and socio-economic activities. And if your auditory senses experience unknown stimuli such as high-frequency buzzing it’s only a coyote.

Glad to know what this really was, and I do understand that it does take some time to get the whole story before it can actually be submitted for view on the news… Thanks William for keeping up with the news on this and getting the proper details…

I agree with EMD ——–very strange to set out a mosquito trap in freezing temperatures.
But, on the other hand, if they have found a trap that actually works, please let everybody know where they can buy one.
