Looking For Info

[timeout]

and since I don't do Facebook........... My daughter was here today and brought a large mosquito (deceased) with her to show me. They are very numerous where she lives. I have seen them, but was never bothered by them. She was bitten on the top of her hand by one of these recently. It turned the top of her hand and three outer fingers numb. That seems a rather extreme reaction, and somewhat troubling. I have attached a picture below. Does anyone know exactly what strain of mosquito these pesky rascals are?

It might be wise to have your Family Doctor take a look.

Looks like it could be a type of ichneumon wasp.

The so called,"tiger mosquito"?

Benadryl or Chlor-Trimeton should help

I have been stung by those before. Like a wasp sting. I don't think it's a mosquito. When I was a kid growing up in the country, we called them mosquito killers.

I one of those in my garage last week, fairly common in SW Wisconsin

Look up Cranefly. (I don't think that's what stung her though). My Grandma used to call them "Snollygosters"

Yep looks like a crane fly. They dont sting that I know of. May have been stung by something else. Symptoms sound like wasp, yellow jacket, hornet.

Something else in the picture for a size comparo would have been nice. Like a dime.
