News coverage[edit]

This page should be getting lots of hits starting today with every news outlet screaming the Florida invasion of this mosquito.

Not an active writer here so don't know how to responsibly do any more than advise that it apparently is a copy-and-paste from http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in967 which looks to certainly be a prime resource. The page says it is copyrighted but because it's an IFAS University release it may be okay to reproduce?

Might also want to disambiguate from "gallinipper," the common name used in the press.

I already put up a disambiguation page. I plan on rewriting the copyvio into something useful soon. Safiel (talk) 02:41, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's not okay to reproduce it verbatim, but there are other sources available that we can use to rewrite it into a good article. The media attention will probably help find more information, and if the 2013 event turns out to be notable, it might need to be mentioned as well. It's Pampas Cat! 16:30, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

The name is not Gallinipper. It is Gallonnipper in that when you are nipped (bitten) the mosquito drinks a gallon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.221.199.101 (talk) 05:58, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
