Ankle-hungry mosquitoes are plaguing Southern California
Fox News
The Aedes mosquito, a tropical insect with a hunger for human ankles, has migrated in mass to Southern California. It needs relatively small amounts of water.
The insects appear to have migrated to southern California this summer near the San Fernando Valley and San Diego area, according to a report from CBS News.
These bugs are different from most mosquitos because they do not need large bodies of water to survive. The Aedes only need a small amount of water — less than a quarter inch — and prefer to stay in shady outdoor areas. They are described as black with white stripes across their legs and bodies.
