Saw a tiger mosquito for the first time in Boston last fall. Reported it to the state but it is a losing battle and they are steadily establishing residency. Back again this season so a moderately cold winter still did not kill them off. They are extremely annoying as their primary prey are humans and they are very good at biting you without noticing - then comes the itch. Especially in late August into Oct.

Lived in Mass. many years, always thought striped-leg mosquitoes were the native variety….

What did you think the city would do about it?
