This is what I find fascinating. I live in NW Indiana, not far from the Indiana/Illinois line. Because of the heat and lack of rain, I haven't seen a mosquito all summer. Illinois however, has had the same weather and yet they have much larger occurences. There is a logical, scientific reason for this dichotomy--someone in the bureaucracy needs to get off their butts and find the reason.
