I saw this on the news and thought I would share. Seems very aggressive and is active during the day as well as night unlike common mosquitos.

Few insects are as effective at spreading illness as the Asian tiger mosquito. The pest transmits more than 20 diseases, according to the Cornell Chronicle, including West Nile fever, dengue fever, yellow fever and two types of encephalitis.
