Great. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is now thriving in the Rocky Mountains. As climate change increases temperatures and changes weather patterns, the bug that carriers dengue and other potentially deadly diseases is expanding its territory.

Of course they will, bless their hearts.

3. Growing up in SoCal and my kids growing up here - we NEVER had mosquitos. Until the Aedes aegypti arrived in 2014.

Misery ever since.

And I look for every tiny little standing water source and use mosquito larvicide granular disks in any I can't empty, like plant pots.

Those things bite and bite, and bite some more. I hate them. And they're so small you often don't see them until it's too late.

6. This is the bug we're trying to beat in my lab.

They're really cool. If nothing else, it is a good time to be a mosquito biologist.
