This is the stuff nightmares and horror movies are made of! Millions of male mosquitos swarming around female mosquitos are creating “mosquito tornados”. Experts say these mosquitos are not likely to attack humans, but……..I can’t watch this without my skin itching all over! Thankfully, this is far away from us, in Russia…..BUT…..mosquito tornados have been spotted in Peru, Argentina, and all over the world. Probably just a matter of time before we get them here. Experts say this is a direct result of climate change as mosquitos are living longer and longer lives. 

Impressive 'tornadoes' of swarming mosquitoes over the settlement of Ust-Kamchatsk, eastern coast of the Kamchatka peninsula. This is an annual event, and local residents are more than used to it, but they agree that it might cause a bit of panic among unprepared visitors pic.twitter.com/lnXr2Cq7Iw
