Since when do mosquitoes bite in early March?

I slapped one when it landed on my hand this afternoon.

This is in Maryland, maybe 16 miles northwest of DC.
It's March 10. We could still see some snow in the next 3 weeks.

The world is going nuts.

And in early November I saw a shitload of mosquitos swarming in the air near the mailbox,and it was a big swarm too.
