Malario sounds like something you would call Wario if you only knew about Waluigi.
Yeah. I hate to be that guy but since this is sort of related to my job and this is a science community: this is an Aedes Species. Scutal markings are not fully visible but I’d go with Aedes aegypti. They don’t transmit Malaria. They’d be your Yellow Fever, Dengue or Chikungunya Bros, though. Malaria, at least those variants that are pathogenic to humans are almost exclusively transmitted by species from the genus Anopheles.
Fucking nerd…
Thank you for your service.
I’d like to subscribe to more skeeter facts.
Did you know that mozzie males find their mate via the wing beat frequency? Yes, the annoying zzzzzzzz that keeps you up at night is like a love song to the males and once they are close enough to their desired mozzie lady, they imitate the frequency. If they hit “the right tune” they may approach. Otherwise, the females kick them with their hind legs… looks cute as hell in my opinion.
I love learning about love in other cultures.
We’ve been BAMBOOZLED. People’s vote: Do we tag the meta post as misinformation?
I think you forgot zika. Malaria is like the one thing aegyptii don’t transmit.
You’re absolutely right, Zika is another important arbovirus in this context. Very broadly speaking: Flaviviridae and Togaviridae (mostly of the Alphavirus genus) are frequently reported viruses from Ae. aegypti while e.g. Bunyaviridae are rarely mentioned in connection with them. For Plasmodium species (= Malaria pathogens, single celled-parasites): they do transmit some other forms like avian Malaria, just not those species pathogenic to humans. Also Filaroidea (=little Worms) don’t seem to be transmitted either.

I sent this to a friend and my brother
And no one has laughed. I’m surprised. I thought this was funny as hell
Humor is a lost art.
Every scientific analysis, every rational approach, every logical assessment of this meme is very clear: this shouldn’t be funny.
And yet I am laughing. Is Science useless?
Yes
Oh, I thought it was a MAGAsquito. I was thrilled to slap it out of its misery for a second.
