Skeeters
Doc, maybe you should think about cutting back on your vitamin intake... ... ... You're breeding super-skeeters!

JoeWhy would you ever doubt me, Papa? 
Doc's BOMBing skeeters. What's the torque numbers on that thromboscis? 
Had bout rear wing hp numbers. We want the real story, Doc.
Had bout rear wing hp numbers. We want the real story, Doc. Yeah right, TStinson - I suppose your ticks are as big as armadillos too!
My skeeters have augers sticking out of their turbos that zing into he flesh like a tetanus shot. Then their injector pump shoots an anticoagulant down the hole so the return line can suck up the nectar! These guys are BAD!
Doc
Hey - Where's Tool Man Taylor. He's good at this!

Weeelllllll, lemme toldya' sumtin now!!
Alls I can say is that the entomologists down here have been using abandoned hardened nuclear reactor containment silos near Bay City, Tx to hold captured skeeters in when examining the critters via remote-control robotic devices and surviellance cameras. I have no idea how or with what they lure and trap the critters with, but there have been numerous stories 'bout big-game hunters being brought in with tranquilizer rigs stronger that what they normally use on rhinos & elephants. The workers at the silos even have to go so far as to put depth-restricting collars on the skeeter's suckers so that they can't pierce the 4' thick reinforced concrete wall & roof structures and latch onto anyone who may happen by too close on the outside. Apparently, these bugs have some kind of ability to sense and pinpoint a meal thru the concrete!! Shoot, before the collars were thought of, there were documented cases of entire herds of what were perfectly healthy fatted cattle found around the outside of the silos the next morning looking like dried prunes after having their body fluids completely drained by the hungry skeeters POKING THEIR SUCKERS THRU THE WALLS!!
I'm sure that you've heard of the legendary toughness of shark skin. Well, lemme tell ya', we're in the process of breeding a strain of cattle from the survivors (rare as they are) of skeeter attacks. The hide from these critters should be as close to impenetrable as can be found. There's a select group of dem dere Cajun scientis' from 'roud Thibodeaux, Louisiana dun ben impoted ta 'elp wid de chore. Fact is, there's a defense contractor soaking a BUNCH of bucks into the effort hoping that the hides may be used as armor for defense usage such as tanks, ships, etc. Purportedly is able to stop the even the hottest electromagnetic rail gun slugs they've thrown at some early test pieces.
'Nuff Said?!?
I'm just happy that the pilgrims landed on the mid-eastern Atlantic coast and not around Sabine Pass, Tx. Otherwise, IF they had escaped and survived the swamp skeeters, heat and humidity this area is so goldarned proud of, they probably would have quarantined the newly-discovered continent, declared it un-inhabitable and gone back to Europe! That would put us having to pedal around in DC's mercedes-powered scooters and doing battle instead of Cummins TD-powered Dodge Powerwagons!

that's a lo-tech labor-saving device!
a skeeter like that can be trained, like a homing pigeon, to return to the bloodbank and drop off her load. Saves phlebotomist pay, truck fuel, and other costs... check the fine print in you HMO policy. They probably only approve skeeter-friendly donor blood.
