If any of you have ever lived in the frozen north (like Minnesota) then you know and understand why they joke about the mosquito being the "State Bird."
in the lower illinois river bottoms at dusk you can hear the "hum" start. it is time to leave or get the bug spray on. i've always suspected that the skeeters were easily this big or bigger. a couple of times i swear one that bit me was this large.

These finds should be reported to wildlife agencies, such as NOAA in the US, as they are protected under the Endangered Species Act.
Whale bones protected, well alrighty then.
