This summer, you might find yourself asking: That is a mosquito, right? Well, maybe yes and maybe no.

We could have gone our whole lives without seeing this...

Mosquitoes. The good news, there are some devices that promise to keep them at bay, and one that’s about to hit the market is designed to be unlike any other.

There are steps you can take to avoid getting eaten alive by these buzzing pests.

It turns out mosquitoes have a remarkable ability to fly not just in clear skies but also in the rain. Mosquitoes are grounded when the fog thickens, according to researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Fog particles surround the mosquito continuously as it flies through an inescapable fog cloud. Researchers used high-speed videography to observe how heavy fog undermines mosquitoes' primary flight control mechanism. They lead to flight failure when tiny fog particles surround the insect.

Mosquitoes have apparently picked up the Zika virus and are now spreading it in south Florida; It's been over a year since Steve Hartman helped his dad pack up move out of the family home for good.

With warm weather fast approaching, mosquitoes will be making their return to much of the U.S. soon -- and they'll be bringing the Zika virus with them. The Obama administration committed more than $500 million Wednesday to combating the virus, but experts fear that's not nearly enough. Dr. Jon LaPook has more.
