The Insect-Warfare

WTF???!!!!!!!!!! So what I saw some days ago as a red, itchy mark on my neck - which still is with me although not as big - happened because this delicate part of my body was turned into a kind of lavatory by some damn insect???? And, by the way, isn't it too early for mosquitos, as the season for their warfare on humans should be in July or August? I think so, and right now it's way too cold both for them, me and all sensible creatures, so what bit me and gave me this itchy, sore wound????

It looks somewhat like this, which is supposed to be a mosquito bite

I'm not in favor of mosquitos, so I was genuinely shocked to learn that they were part of Nazi plans for "biological warfare", and that they made some advanced studies, both in collecting the insects, in keeping them alive and their worth as "animal bombs". Actually, it seems that they in 1944 flooded some otherwise drained areas and planted loads of starving mosquitos to see how good they were in conveying malaria to the unsuspecting population living there. According to my information, they did that in 1944 in Italy, but I'm not sure, this information is quite reliable. If it happened, then why did they choose an ally as their "research animal"??? According to this information, the area wasn't drained and cleaned up again until the 1950s and in the meantime many innocent people were killed by insects, as that's what malaria does all too often ....

On a yearly basis, those small annoying creatures, called mosquitos, kill more people than e.g. lions or tigers. Actually, they top the list of animals killing humans.
